Sync restores deleted bookmarks

I've got 2 PCs. Main PC1 is working nearly 24/7. PC2 is used periodically.
When I launch FF on PC2, Sync adds to PC1 all bookmarks that was deleted from PC1 since last PC2 launch.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

It is best to disconnect from Sync while performing maintenance/repair efforts to the places.sqlite database.

Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder

Restore them from the last backup you made in iTunes.

Is there any way to restore deleted bookmarks after uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it?

When I uninstalled firefox i checked the delete history/bookmarks box by accident and now all my bookmarks are gone. is there any way of restoring them from before i uninstalled firefox?

Did you remove the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder as well?
It is better to try to recover a JSON backup because that is a text file and can easily be checked if the recovery succeeded.

IPhone sync restore deleted everything !!

Okay, I need some seriously help. I am not really tech savvy so if anyone can explain how to fix this problem to me in "iphone for dummy" terms please let me know.
So my old laptop with everything on it crashed so I got the harddrive completely replaced and everything has been moved to an external harddrive. So on this "new" computer it has nothing on, and when I go to put all my stuff back onto my iphone is says, "This iphone needs to be restored" or something like that.
So I synced my iphone to my new computer and it says, "This computer has been previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device." and it's saying to restore it as if it was a brand new iphone. I didn't choose the option yet, but since it restored it, my phone is basically on factory mode. I have nothing on it. Does that means that all my contacts, notes, pictures, etc is being removed forever?
I mean I don't mind the music or apps because I can always reupload it from the external harddrive, but now I don't have my contacts, notes, voice memos, pictures that I have had on my phone for almost 2 years now! I don't know what to do and I am freaking out to be honest. Is there anyway I can fix this??

If you reloaded everything to your laptop from your back ups, you shouldn't have a problem.

Firefox Sync restores old bookmarks

I have Firefox Sync set up on multiple computers. I start one of the computers pretty rarely, maybe once every 2-3 weeks, and that messes up Firefox Sync. Suddenly all my other computers get old stuff from my "seldom-online" computer.
Is this a bug? Is there any way around this? I really like Sync, but if there is no way around this I think I have to disable Sync on that other computer.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Restored Safari bookmarks keep disappearing

I restored my iPhone to get rid of the bloated "Other" category. In the process, I had first disconnected Safari on the iPhone from iCloud syncing before deleting bookmarks and the reading list. I did a full backup on iTunes before restoring. It remains that way. Nevertheless, the next time I started Safari on my iMac, all my bookmarks disappeared, in favor of the original defaults. I restored the bookmarks from Time Machine but every time I add a new bookmark, they disappear again, right before my eyes. It spills over to my MacBook Air, which I use when I'm way from my desk.
I really need those bookmarks. I have an .html list I exported as well so they are safe, just not convenient.
I have Safari 7.0.5. The recent update has not prevented this problem from recurring.
Does anyone have any idea why this keeps happening?

Using iTunes and using iCloud simultaneously will only cause problems for Safari bookmarks. It's one or there other.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud then switch Safari off then back on.
On your iMac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the bookmarks.

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

How can I restore my bookmarks with old Firefox Sync?

I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks.
Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync wasn't intended to be a data storage cloud. It was created to keep multiple Firefox installations synchronized.

Firefox didnt sync my bookmark to my account???? WTF. i reinstall my windows but i thought ff synced my bookmarks. .. how can i restore my bookmark from my account?????

Firefox didn't sync my bookmark to my account???? WTF. i reinstall my windows but i thought ff synced my bookmarks. .. how can i restore my bookmark from my account?????

Sorry. Sync isn't really intended as a backup medium as you were trying to use it for. It isn't meant to be a storage "cloud". It's purpose is to keep Firefox bookmarks synchronized across multiple Firefox installations or Profiles - so all your bookmarks are the same on each device / Profile.

I set up sync and copied bookmarks to another another computer that I am giving to my grandson. I deleted many bookmarks that were of no interest to him. I didn't disable sync on my computer and now have lost most of my bookmarks. Can I retrive these?

Retrieving lost bookmarks after synced to another computer

Try to restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder that has them.

How do I restore a deleted bookmark?

I accidentally deleted several bookmarks. Is there a way to find them and put them back in my Bookmarks list?

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back. 
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). 
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox. 
If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup. 
This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.
