Upgrade to version 9 is a disaster; unable to restore bookmarks with your troubleshooting tips, and version is incredibly slow and unresponsive; what gives?

I finally gave in and tried to upgrade to Firefox 9 from 3.6. I backed up my bookmarks, because I tried once before and lost the bookmarks. That time, I was able to restore the older version of Firefox.
This time I figured it was safe because I backed up the bookmarks. When they didn't show up, I went to the troubleshooting section. First, I restarted the computer (Mac running OS 10.6.8). When this didn't work, I tried the renaming of the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal. I was not able to change the names on these. I could not unlock the files, even though I have read and write privileges. So then I tried restoring the back-up of the bookmarks I had just done. The message I got said "Firefox unable to process the backup file".
In addition to this problem, the new version is so slow that it is giving me unresponsive script messages on almost every new window. I also notice the back button is always gray, and I can't go back in the history. No history is recording.
Is there any way to get the older version back, or fix these problems?

    i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember setting up one. I am currently using a windows vista PC. How can I retrieve the password or restore all my old data into the new OS. I have been reading blogs about the same situation and is it true that it is one of apple's bugs?

    It is NOT a bug.  You provided a password.  If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup.  Very simple.

    I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

  • Unable to fully sync with iPod Touch 1G and the (new/lat)est iTunes versions in a very old Windows XP Pro SP3 machine?

    Hi.
    I keep getting this "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." error when I try to sync my 11 GB of music from my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to an old iPod Touch 1G (iOS v3.1.3). It has a brand new (lat/new)est iTunes installations too. I tried rebooting the the machine, disconnecting USB cables, etc. None of them helped. I did not have this problem in the end of 2013.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk '...' failed. The device timed out."
    "The iPod '...' cannot be synched. An internal device error occurred."
    Sometimes Windows XP Pro SP3 thinks my USB connection is not fast? Huh?
    No problems when I synched almost 8 GB of music to an iPod Nano 6G from the same machine and USB connector and port. Same collection, and random songs.
    I tried again on a borrowed old 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2008) with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes v10.6.3. Synced from its local HDD to it without any problems.
    So, I had an idea. I retried with iTunes v11.1.3.8, that I used end of 2013, in the same Windows XP Pro SP3 machine from scratch. It worked like the end of last year! No errors! Wow! :O
    OK, so what changed in iTunes after its v11.1.3.8 to cause this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
    I only see mdnsDSP from Apple in my WinSock Provider tabs in AutoRuns v11.70. I do remember I had a low memory error during a very long synchronization, but that only happened once. I doubt that is related to creating a new account especially after I rebooted my very old Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine.

  • Unable to get page with video to validate and need help getting text to display correctly

    I need advice on getting a page to validate that has a video. I didn't make the video, but all other pages vallidate that don't have it.
    Also, when testing viewing on ie with large font view the navigation bar on the left doesn't display correctly. I've tried all fixes I can think of, but none work.
    As always any advice is greatly appreciated.
    page can be viewed at: http://www.lotusvalleydesigns.com/previewpages/services.html

    Eeeeeuuuuu yuck.  You know, I've never used that setting in IE and I don't think I ever will again.
    Look what happens to CNN's website when you do that.
    http://CNN.com
    I think IE sucks and this is another fine example of MS's zeal to pile on user options that no one should use.  If MS made their zoom feature optional the way Firefox does, nobody would ever need this atrocious "accessibility" option.
    Good luck,

  • Address autocomplete too slow since the program updated to version 31. I went through all the troubleshooting tips and it still is slow.

    I had this same issue with Seamonkey. I have about 4700 names in my address book. When replying to an email, or creating a new email, the auto email lookup function is very slow and unresponsive. It will generally take 10-20 seconds before it starts to work. Since the update to ver 31, now all my collected email addresses are coming up all red color. It is like all history is gone. It doesn't recognize that these email addresses are in my address book or something...thank you.

    The spurious red addresses is a known bug:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012002
    while the slow operation of autocomplete is probably due to a new feature, that may become a bug:

  • Unable to restore bookmarks from XP to Windows 7 due to unsupported file type

    Im having problems transferring my bookmarks from xp machine to a Windows 7 machine. I just verified that both machines are running Firefox v. 4.0.1. I was advised to save the bookmarks.html file on the xp machine and when I copied it to the Windows 7 machine. I received the error that it is an unsupported file type. Can someone advise on how I can get this done? Thanks in advance.
