Used firefox refresh & my bookmarks were deleted
i used the ff refresh feature. now i have lost ALL of my saved bookmarks. have searched on how to retrieve them, but to no avail.
Hi, the Refresh Firefox article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings here] should help. It might also be worth looking in Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore.
Hope that will help.

I'm guessing you are using an iPad, this is confusing because this is an iMac forum. If you are using an iPad use the restore function when the iPad is connected to your computer. Restore is located in iTunes under the Summary tab. It will look something like:

Over a week maybe a month ago my brother had been using my laptop and some malware and virus type stuff got on it. Him thinking he knows everything decided he would look on google and bing for a possible fix. After downloading I have no idea how many different things to fix it. He finally deleted Mozilla Firefox. He chose to delete everything. And I need to know if there is anyway I can recover those bookmarks? I'm not computer savvy. I leave that to people who know them. So I hope I can get some help here. But I think I'm SOL and have no hope in saving the bookmarks that were deleted.
Did you check if you could recover the previous Firefox profile folder with Recuva?
You first need to do that and then try to recover the bookmarkbackups folder and a recent JSON backup.
Window usually doesn't reuse clusters quickly unless the hard disk space has been used up and NTFS keeps the full cluster chain and index (only marks this chain as deleted). -
Before updating to 26.0 I did not have any Firefox backup account.
Hi bmfowler,
bookmarks are linked to your profile (irrespective of what FF version you are currently on) this profile should be left intact by an upgrade/downgrade.
First thing I would do would to be run -> %appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/ (standard profile location) to figure out whether the old profile (with the bookmarks) is still available. If so proceed with the

Hope it helps.

All safari bookmarks were deleted upon shut off, any way to retrieve?
I was surfing the internet today when my macbook gave me the "running on reserve battery power" message. i went to go save down the pages i had open (didn't have a power cord), but before i could finish the computer shut down. fine, i figured. i had saved it all as bookmarks anyway. but when i went back on about an hour later, every single bookmark on safari was gone. on bookmark bar there was just the bookmarks you get when you first get your computer, the stadard ones. any ideas for a solution? i have some very important bookmarks saved!
thanks for your help.My first thought is that you are using some other User Account. In all my time on Macs, I have never heard of such a thing happening.
Or... were you using a different browser? Safari, Firefox, Chrome???

Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
ThanksThanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance -
I tried to restore them but nothing happened. I do not know if the deletion was from one of your updates. There was more than 40 bookmark all of them for my business. Please i need a clear answer of how to restore all of my bookmarks?

Why can't I use Right-Click in Bookmarks (to delete) or on Tabs (to bookmark) anymore?
Much of the right-click mouse support seems to have been removed from Firefox - is there a reason for this?
Examples are in the Subject line.You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
*browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
*browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

The question says everything. Since then I've backed up all my bookmarks - but after the horse has bolted.
Also I had previously registered a u/n and p/w with Firefox but the upgrade doesn't recognize it....See this: <br />

Years back I had installed Firefox 3.0 (at launch, so not beta) into a separate program folder. After installation, I expected to have my bookmarks saved. Recently I found out my bookmarks were in application data and I found out I had one profile. That meant that my firefox 2.0 bookmarks were replaced.
I read up on the FAQs and it stated that bookmark backups only save the previous 5 days or so, so I don't think they are usable though I have them saved. The bookmarks.html file in my profile shows only one bookmark after importing it into firefox 3.5 and firefox 2.0 (downgraded back to check it out), google chrome, and internet explorer. I still have the bookmarks.bak and bookmarks.html.bak files as well.
A little backstory before I got up to this point because it's a bit convoluted because I thought I could retrieve them like IE favorites which were easy:
1) Switched to Firefox 2.0 from Internet Explorer and got several hundred bookmarks.
2) Got HyperBookmarks add-on which bugged up and replaced my previous bookmarks folder though it stated in FAQs that my original Firefox 2.0 bookmarks were in a separate folder so I didn't worry about it.
3) Upgraded to Firefox 3.0 and it replaced all my bookmarks with nothing in bookmarks list. I thought it was saved because I installed Firefox 3.0 in a separate folder.
4) Retrieved 3.0 Bookmarks and Archived them, but wasn't able to find Firefox 2.0 Bookmarks (original) nor the HyperBK version, except in HyperBk Backups folder.In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

it happens EVERYTIME i try to use firefox, tried rebooting, tried to delete java interely and still same thing. i just added java again and still same results, but only under firefox. i am stationed in the middle east/deployed so finding a computer store is out, and only certain military websites are preferred under your firefox, so it is time-sensitive as well.
Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause this issue. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

CIF integration of characteristics that were deleted at APO
Hi Experts,
we had some characteristics in APO that were transfered from the ECC. But since it was no longer used they were deleted at the APO system. But now we need to use againd some of these characteristics, and when we try to integrate this characteristic they stopped at the APO inbond queue whith the message "master data missing for characteristic &&".
I checked the table TCL_ATINN_IDENT in APO and the characteristics that were deleted in the past are still there but with an internal number at the field ATINN_NEW.
Does anyone knows how can we proced with this issue?
Is there any report to clean this data in the table?
thanks in advance
Thiago CyrilloOk, I"ll try to explain this issue.
1 - We had a class (type 300) with some characteristics in ECC that were integrated with APO;
2 - When this class (type 300 and 400 in APO) and characteristcs were not used anymore in APO, they were deleted (classes and characteristics);
3 - But today we need to use these characteristic again.
4 - We have some classes (type 300) that is integrated with APO. These classes has the organizational Area M that is created in ECC and APO;
5 - Those characteristics that were deleted from APO, is now in attributed at the new classes that are integrated with APO;
6 - To Integrate those characteristic we put the organizational area M in them at the related classes;
7 - After that those characterist stop at the APO (inboud Queue SMQ2).
Let me know if you could replicate the issue
thanks and Best Regards

Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Firefox bookmarks/toolbar deleted after software update for Microsoft
Firefox bookmarks and toolbar were deleted after a software update from my mac computer - an update from Microsoft - affecting word & firefox. The restore function within the bookmark section does not work - it shows the back ups but then states "unable to process the backup file"
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Every time I start the 4.0 Firefox I have to refresh the Yahoo bookmarks several times for it to open completely for them to
become usableI dont use tabs and only use the Yahoo toolbar bookmarks(about 200)they dont show up in the Firefox or IE bookmarks.After starting Firefox from being offline
these dont open.From the pulldown button in the toolbar I go to tools>then refresh bookmarks sometimes several times for them to open all the way for normal use.It was'nt until the more recent updates this started happening.Another thing started happening at the same time in the Yahoo mail when trying to delete mail from the spam and trash folders when you select all>delete the cursor would go right to the to the OK button.Now I have to drag
it to the button.this only happens in Firefox in Yahoo mail.
