Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

Hi Ed,
The bookmarks are stored within a file called ''places.sqlite'' which is a database, so this is changed, an individual bookmark is not stored as an html file. In addition Firefox makes some backup files automatically of with the name bookmarks, a date and the extension .json.
If you delete a bookmark from your library it will still exist for a while in the bookmarks backup. Additionaly a record of the site visit will be held in the History unless you visited whilst using Private Browsing.
If you were to delete places.sqlite note you would loose History as well as ALL your own bookmarks, including any tags keywords folders and descriptions.
Not sue whether that answers your question fully as I am not too sure what you may wish to achieve. Has something happened that you wish to prevent?
Depending on what you are trying to do some of these may be worth reading:
*[[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
*[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
*[[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
*[[Remove websites from the Awesome Bar suggestions]]

I upgraded to Thunderbird 3.6 and lost all my old e-mails. Where are they? I want to keep them.

I lost my old e-mails. I want to keep them and be able to refer to them from time to time. Where are they? It shows their number on the bottom right hand side of the screen, but there is no dropdown or other selection to view them.

I want to change the file location for the automatic backup file bookmarks.file, but I can't find browser.bookmarks.file in the list on the about:config page.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.

The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

Question
I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

They will only be where you put them. They do not magically appear in new places.
Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

I recently updated my browser. A message then came up, saying that firefox would create a folder with my old bookmarks. But I can't find my bookmarks in it?

I'm not familiar with that message...
Are you bookmarks still intact and working normally?
Is there an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop by any change? If the Firefox "Reset" feature runs, that folder should be created.

I can't find Delete button on Spanish Wireless KeyBoard

Hi, I am totally new with iMAC.
I can't imagine that I just brought iPhone 4 a 3 years ago.
Now I brought 3 iPad after that then, finally I have iMAC..
but entire of my life I never used this Cool stuff but I am still not used to on it.
Please anyone help me that I have Spanish Wireless keyboard and I can't find Delete button.
I can see the narrow button on my right upper side but I think that is not working like Delete function.
Anyone could help me please??

There was a method (from a few years ago) noted in a page of keyboard questions;
this one was in association with Spanish keyboards, from the Store pages. Actually
there are eight replies to the issue of a Delete key, with varied results, here:
http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC184E/B/the-one-delete-key-m oves-left-is-there-a-single-keystroke-wa…
And the above (linked page) came from this page of even more comment/questions:

Not sure if any of those in the first link will help.
In any event, good luck!

I can't find the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature in Firefox 5 that used to be there. Was it moved or just removed?

I can't find the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature in Firefox 5 that used to be there. Was it moved or just removed?

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* Bookmark All: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-all/

My system was re-set during repairs and I have lost my Firefox bookmarks. Are these stored anywhere on the system? I did a full backup of documents and programme files before repair, but can't find any bookmark file.

I did not do backups of the bookmarks regularly, since I thought these would be saved somewhere. However, I can't find any bookmark files on my backed-up system.

Thanks - now I can see an applications folder, and have found a .default file, hope this is the one. Should I now follow these instructiosn to restore my profile, or just go to organise bookmarks and import the default file?
Copying files between profile folders
Note: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders.
1. Open your profile folder:
* (Firefox 3.0 and 3.5): See How to find your profile
1. (Firefox 3.6): At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information.... The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing FolderShow in Finder.
2. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
3. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
4. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
5. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click inside the profile folder and choose Paste Item.
Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder.
While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

Can't find the bookmarks backup/restore menu in the new version ..

I can't find the bookmarks backup/restore menu, or the organize bookmarks menu at all in your new version. For starters, couldn't even find the bookmark icon on the right hand side of the navigation bar as instructed in your instructions.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.

Yes you can delete them. Removing them from the iPad has no effect at all on the Mac.

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.
