When Firefox updated, I lost all my BOOKMARKS besides my toolbar. Can't express how unhappy bar

When Firefox updated, I lost the toolbar including the link for bookmarks. When I "searched" for Bookmarks it said I had none.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • After a recent Firefox update, I lost all my Bookmarks and recent sites visited. Also, I am unable to Bookmark any page now.

    After a recent Firefox update, all the Bookmarks I had saved, disappeared. Also, I am unable to scroll down to see the sites I had already visited and saved. Now, when I go to a page I would like to Bookmark, I am unable to do so. I will click on Bookmark This Page but it does not work.

    For the lost bookmark issue, see [[Lost Bookmarks]] and for the bookmarking issue, see [[Bookmarks not saved]].

  • I upgraded to Firefox 7 and lost all my Bookmarks and the Toolbar which I use every day for all the important things I do on my Mac.. PLEASE HELP ME... Is there some way to restore my previous settings, go back to the older version or something?

    PLEASE HELP!... I am seriously freaking out... I use my Toolbar all the time!... and ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE ALSO!

    I am not an expert or even close, and I offer this only because this is how I figured out how to do it. I used a similar approach to importing all email accounts, email content and the address book into a new version of Thunder bird, but I assume this is common knowledge.
    My system:
    Windows 7 64 bit, recently upgraded from XP64. Installed Mozilla Aurora but seems the same as recent Firefox versions with respect to these features.
    Limitation:
    This solution depends on whether or not automatic backups were done of the bookmarks when you used your old installation. They were on my system and I don't remember doing it, but maybe I did. Others might know if this is periodically done by default. Assuming you have some backup (*.json) files,
    Locate your the bookmark backup files from the old version of your browser. On XP it was located in
    E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bookmarkbackups
    Each of the bookmark backup files look like this example:
    bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
    They might also be located one folder deeper, in my case:
    E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x72qybcl.default\bookmarkbackups
    Again, they will look like this:
    bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
    Copy all of these .json files to the backup folder on your new installation. On my new Windows 7 file system system I found their new home at:
    C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ptl24i3.default\bookmarkbackups
    On an XP system I'm sure they would be found along a path, possibly on a differed drive, similar to where your got them from as above.
    I fired up Aurora. Drop down "Bookmarks" tab, Select "Show All Bookmarks" (found near the bottom). This brings up the "Library" window. At the top of the window is a tab "Import and Backup". Click this and select "Restore". All of the prior backup files will be available indexed by the date of backup. Select one and all of your prior bookmarks will be repopulated, including the bookmarks Toolbar.
    Hope this helps.

  • I lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    i lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • HT1688 during a software update, i lost all my apps. restore did not bring them back, how do i get my apps back?

    during a software update, i lost all my apps. restore did not bring them back, how do i get my apps back?

    Your apps will only be where you put them.  if you failed to put them on your computer beore updating, then they would certainly be gone.
    You can redownload them:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I just updated my os to lion and had to reinstall firefox . i accidentally lost all my bookmarks. I have a backup from before the update that was done through time machine but I can't find firefox in there. How can I retrieve them ?

    I also have the app for my iphone which is still synced with my account and has my bookmarks there but I don't know how to get them onto firefox. The account i used to sync my bookmarks on my iphone app was under the email address [email protected] as is this one. I tried logging in with the first account but no pw I tried worked. I tried to get a new pw from the site but I was never sent an email to reset it so I created a new account under the same email address.

    I got my contacts back by doing another restore!  Relief..
    But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
    Any suggestions?

  • I had to re-install firefox recently and lost all my bookmarks and passwords, how do I retrieve them? I have already saved them as an html file on my desktop.

    I've been having problems with my computer, and had to delete Firefox entirely several times. I don't believe it was your browser that was the problem, though now I have lost all my saved bookmarks. I did export them to IE as an HTML file, which I still have on my desktop. I am now in the painful process of remembering and resetting passwords that Firefox remembered when I had it originally installed (I am back at ground zero with the browser now).

    Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
    As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/
    or
    http://www.xmarks.com/
    Both are good.
    And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:
    Bookmarks / Organized Bookmarks / Import and Export
    Good luck.

  • Iphoto froze when downloading update, have lost all pictures. Can I retrieve?

    I'm being told to re-download iphoto from ilife - but won't this mean I have lost all my valued pictures? Why does downloading new updates cause so many problems? When I tried to update my iphone to IoS5 it froze the phone and I lost all my contacts, messages and info. Unbelievably I then couldn't retrieve from my backup as it demanded a password and, despite hundreds of attempts to input it, I was told by Apple tech support that there are big problems with iphone backup passwords. They admitted that they can't help with passwords as the Mac and iphone generate new passwords every time you charge your phone on another machine that not your own. HEEEELP.

    1 - reloading iPhoto does not affect your photos - they are in teh iPhoto library
    2 - even if you have a problem you surely always have a good backup - if you don't you are guaranteed to lost your photos and all other files sooner or later
    3 - If you have iphone and IOS 5 questions teh iPhone forum is a great place to ask
    You question is not clear and rambles so I am not sure if this really answers it or not - if it does not please ask a specific question about iPhoto including details of errors you get

  • I updated to Firefox 4 and it will not work so I can not get on line and it replaced the old firefox so I also lost all my bookmarks. I need them back. How do I get them?

    I have a Mc g5 with the 10.4.11 operating system. Your site is my home page and it kept bugging me to update to the firefox 4. So I did now when I try to get on it tells me that that "I can not open this application because it is not supported on this system". It replaced the old firefox that I had so I can not open that. I have no way to get to my book marks and I need them. Let me know how to get back to my old firefox and book marks.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • After loading the latest firefox version I lost all the formatting from Yahoo, everything is text unformatted how do I restore my format?

    My screen is just all text and I cannot navigate to my familiar selection places. I don't know how to get back my format for Yahoo

    That is caused by code for HiDPI that landed.
    You can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.
    * The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    * You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce elements in size or use values greater than 1.0 to magnify and make elements larger (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
    If the web pages needs to be adjusted after changing this pref then you can look at Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

  • How can i recover my old browser with all my bookmarks and its toolbar

    My laptop was running perfectly well till yesterday. today when i opened my laptop there was a HP update required massage window I pressed O.K as always. After a while when update was completed it has put a funny wall paper on my lap top, and worse, my internet browser has been removed. I changed my browser back to Mozilla Firefox, but now I lost all my bookmarks and its toolbar.
    I also lost all my user I.Ds and password linked to these I.Ds. Now how can I recover this information? I did ran system recovery couple of time from last months dates but I still unable to get the setting of my orignal browser.

    Hello downtownbrown,
    You want to restore your files after a refresh.
    Once you have run a refresh on your PC everything that was not preinstalled on the system is deleted.
    The only way to get the information back on your PC is to have a backup of everything on an external drive.

    I have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile etc after Firefox updated to the newest version today without asking me first. I liked what I had & several times a day it would say there are updates but I closed those popups or messages. Im now using the latest version just so I can have some use while I try to sort this out & get help.

    I'm adding that I tried system restore several times .... & my last full backup.... but each time something was corrupted or would not launch or there was no '''.exe '''file in the program folder...Ive never seen this before, & the Mozilla backup I had was useless... it was unable to launch either
