Upgrade of firefox 9 did not keep bookmarks and settings.

just as stated in question. upgrade to firefox 9 has lost all settings and bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve them?
thanks,

Possibly Firefox created a new profile with the update. If so, you should be able to find the old one.

How to backup all my Firefox "Options", not the bookmarks and other stuff.

Under Tools, Options there are lot of settings that are lost when I have to reinstall. How to backup all my Firefox "Options", not the bookmarks and other stuff.

Hi, please see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]].
Also - [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
Hope that helps.

When I open Firefox, I get a page that says that Firefox did not direct properly and to try again. When I click the try again, the home page opens. What can I do to avoid this. It just started today. Rebooting does not help.

This happens only with the home page when I open the browser.

How do I manually restore a browsing session's tabs? Firefox did not reopen them after a computer freeze and shutdown.

Last night around 4 AM I was browsing in Firefox when my laptop suddenly froze. No mouse or ctl+alt+del responsiveness, nothing, just a frozen unresponsive screen, so after waiting a few moments in vain I forced a shutdown and restart with the power button. I've done this in the past without problems, but this time when I restarted my computer Firefox did not reopen my tabs automatically, or prompt me to restore the session. This is pretty alarming as I have plenty of websites tabbed and kept open permanently that I don't know if I will ever be able to find again. Can anyone give me help in manually restoring a previous session's tabs? I assume this information is stored somewhere on my computer, for Firefox's own use.

I suspect that Firefox doesn't store session history for private windows, but you could try rescuing all the sessionstore files in your currently active personal settings folder (also known as your Firefox profile folder) just in case.
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
That should take you to the critical folder. Try copying all sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files to a different location (e.g., Documents) where there's no danger of Firefox overwriting them.
If you check the timestamps, can you tell which one has the best chance of having your old windows and tabs? Open that one in a text editor. You may need to turn on text wrapping. If you can remember any text from the URL or title of the page you were viewing, try searching in the text to see whether you can find it. If not, the quest may be futile.

I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request.

I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request in order to buy the product it's so irritating I'm about to just do a different product altogether... anyone know how to get or bypass the serial number request?

You must first make the purchase, then you will receive the serial number you are asking about. YOu do not acquire the serial number thru the software. You acquire it thru the purchase, possibly via a follow-up confirmation email.

HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes. It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for. How do I get pass this dilemma?

I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes. Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them. How do I get past this to be able to purchase. I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I keep getting old settings when I try to install Firefox again. I have deleted the program files and the profile, but the program is finding the old bookmarks and settings somewhere. How do I delete this information to make a clean installation?

I have a corrupted bookmark file and want to totally delete any information on the bookmarks and settings. I have deleted any files which reference Mozilla and Firefox from my hard drive and have gone into the Registry and deleted all references to Firefox. But every time I reinstall Firefox the program finds this information. Is it in the sync folder and how do I clear out that folder?

Firefox17 is extremely slow on the net compared with MS Internet Explorer. Can I downgrade it and not loose bookmarks and how?

I have upgrade my Firefox to the 17 version and it worked just fine from the beginning but it have become slower and slower on communication to the internet. I have used your product for some time and I like it but this is not ok. I upgrade the system as soon as there is something new. It is important for me to be able to save the bookmarks. I use the Swedish version!

Hi, after upgrading to Firefox 17 all browsing slowed down.
After doing several speed tests with Firefox 17 and IE9 I was getting 75% slower speeds with Firefox.
After a lot of hassle I got back to v16.0.2 and my speed is back to normal.

you need to check whether '''jdownloader''' is compatible with the Firefox version you are using.
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extension section -> check the Status of '''jdownloader''' extension -> if '''an update''' is available for this add-on then install the update -> Restart Firefox and check again check the compatibility -> if it is '''GREYED with Exclamation mark''' then it is incompatible with Firefox
Try using this extension to force compatibility.

Check and tell if its working.

Firefox did not launch. I downloaded new one. the icon is crossed out. how can I fix this?

March 25 2011
I'm on a Mac OS X (power pc)
After restarting my computer today. Firefox did not launch. I clicked on the icon, it started to initiate and then stopped before anything happened.
To try to fix the problem, I trashed the application and downloaded a new one. It gave me a message: "The application Firefox cannot be launched -10661."
I retried the download and the second time, the Firefox application icon has been crossed out. That is it has a circle with a slash over it. Same message comes up.
