Where on my system is Firefox Bookmarks and Scrapbook Items?

My Macbook Air (10.6.0) has gone haywire as I can't find the Desktop or Finder and just have mostly a blue screen. The only thing I can access is the Menu at the top of the screen and I've been using File Sharing in System Preferences to move important files and folders from my crashed MBA to a new MBA 10.6.4 (just got it a few days ago).
I can't back up the bookmarks in Firefox as you would normally and then use that file to restore the bookmarks elsewhere, because my MBA is not working normally. I just tested this clicking on "Managing Bookmarks" and choosing 'back up'. I saved the file (it has an extension 'json' but the file appears nowhere on my computer. It might have something to do with the fact that I have run out of room on my Mac HD.
Is there another way to access the bookmarks? By perhaps going into the architecture of the HD?
That way I can add that folder to the list of items in File Sharing and transfer the bookmarks to my functioning MBA.
Also where can I find the Scrapbook items in the Finder?
I tried file-sharing the application "Firefox" but the icon is grayed out.
I remember when I tried to transfer the scrapbook items from my Powerbook onto my then new MBA (now old and crashed), I had to actually put Firefox onto a flash drive and then I just moved that onto the MBA. It took forever though to transfer and was a pretty big file (about 30GB). (I have at least a couple of thousand bookmarks and Scrapbook items.)
I can't do that this time because the Finder on the Macbook Air is not working – I can't access it, and I mostly have a blue screen.

I have the Desktop back again! I don't know how it happened. The computer opened in Windows so I restarted the computer pressing the Option key while it rebooted. I chose the Mac volume and when it booted, the Desktop came up!
There was a message that I had to make space as there was no room. I quickly deleted some files (about 2GB) which I can do freely now as I have saved the Desktop items onto the new MBA (using File Sharing).
I don't know how the computer filled up so quickly. Something went wrong during the backup of the computer. The back up got interrupted by the MBA's lid flying open and laying flat (the hinge is broken) and it all went downhill from there.
I think the fluke happened by the computer opening in Windows. Then when I opened it using the Option key so that I could choose the Mac volume as the starting disk, the Desktop and Finder reappeared!
It's great. I think there are a lot of duplicated files in the mac system somewhere (because I think files got copied onto the HD instead of the backup drive). However, my Desktop and Finder are restored which makes saving the data and doing a backup so much easier.

Is it possible to just sort links in Firefox Bookmarks and NOT the Folders?

Is it possible to just sort links in Firefox Bookmarks and NOT the Folders?
In other words sort links A - Z but leave the Folders alone.
I have lots of Bookmark Links and folders but when i try to sort them it sorts the folders also.
Thanks

Open the '''Bookmarks Manager.'''
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar. Then select
'''Bookmarks.''' Hot key is '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)'' <Shift> B.'''
Open the directory tree on the left. Find the folder you want to sort.
On the tree, right click the folder and select '''Sort.'''

How can I export my Firefox bookmarks (and the hierarchical structure of folders) to the Scrapbook Add-On?

I'm trying to replicate the hierarchical structure of my Firefox bookmarks in Scrapbook and save the webpages automatically. Is that possible in an automatic (or easy) way?
Many thanks

I'm not sure how Scrapbook works, but if you open a web page, can it automatically capture all the linked pages? If so, try this:
(1) Export your bookmarks to an HTML file, and save it in a convenient locaiton (e.g., desktop). This article has the steps: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]].
(2) Open the file you just created in Firefox. You could double-click the file, or use Open from the menu, or drag and drop it on an open tab.
Will Scrapbook work with that?

My laptop harddrive crashed. I have installed a new hard drive. I want to retreive all Firefox bookmarks and History. Is it possible? I use windows XP

I use a Windows XP Laptop and Firefox browser ( free don't remember the version). My hard drive crashed today 31.07.2011 and I installed a new hard drive with installed Windows XP. I have just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 ( free version) and would like to retrieve all by previous bookmarks and HISTORY.

How do I recover my lost Firefox bookmarks and user profile settings?

I accidentally clicked on Remove all User Profile Settings, Bookmarks and blahblah when I uninstalled my Aurora and now my Firefox has no bookmark etc. I tried using Recuva as recommended from the other questions but it didn't help me at all. I do not have any backup either.

Will other recovery software help? Because I tried using GetDataBack and I found some files that are not named .sqlite but rather .sqlite-wal or .sqlite-shm. What are those?

Lost iCal info, Firefox Bookmarks, and Security Permissions

I came home yesterday and work up my G5 and launched Firefox. It opened as if I just downloaded it and it did not go to my homepage and all my bookmarks were gone.
That was really frustrating so I restarted my computer and then then the generic Apple screen background appeared and all my programs in my dock were gone and when I opened iCal all my dates that I had inputted were lost.
Not only that! When I wake my computer from sleep mode, it is not asking me for my password.
Any reason why this is all happening. I plan to get as much data off the main drive just in case my computer is going south but I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else and what steps you recommend I take to remedy it.
Oh, and unless I did not look in the right place I did not see the backups of the Firefox bookmarks. Bummer.

I had previously had a major problem with an Apple automatic update and went thru lots of time and trouble, especially with Safari. After more time than I wanted to spend with Applecare...finally having to do a clean install...I was told all was okay. I still had Safari problems, so I switched to Firefox and was able to import the bookmarks from the old Safari. I was assured that the Snow Leopard was worth doing and would be no problem. So much for that advice. Most everything else seems fine, but all of my data on iCal is lost, as are the bookmarks in Firefox. When I tried to pull same up from Time Machine, I get the message that the version of iCal won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
don't restore the application itself. applications themselves never contain any user data.
it's all stored in your home directory. for ical quit ical and restore the folder /users/username/library/calendars and for firefox the folder /users/username/library/application support/firefox.

How do I copy my current Firefox Bookmarks and emails and settings in order to recopy them to a reinstalled Firefox later on

I am having problems with Windows Media Player and have tried all suggested options to sort it out. It was installed on my laptop when I bought it in Sept 2012 and is now causing problems that I can't resolve. In checking the player defaults and troubleshooting I discovered that the fie was created oin 21 Jan 2013, the same date I downloaded Real Player. This should have been Sept 2012 when I bought the computer. Has Real Player caused a conflict? = I don't know.
I now see no way out except restoring Windows 7 from the recovery disks made when I bought the computer or maybe downloading a new version of Win Media Player .
If I do a restore then I will lose my Thunderbird emails and my Bookmarks on Firefox - I would like to avoid this, if possible. Please let me know how and from where I can copy these and how I can upload/ recopy them when I am up and running with my reinstalled Windows 7.

hello, please refer to [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. the same information also applies to thunderbird, which profile usually resides in %appdata%\Thunderbird\Profiles.

Windows 7 "Restore to an earlier time" lost all my Firefox bookmarks and favicons.

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 18.0.1 -- I did a Windows "Restore your computer to an earlier time", which I have done before with no trouble. This time, however, though I kept all my desktop shortcuts and IE toolbar icons, I lost ALL my Firefox toolbar icons and everything in my bookmark dropdown menu. Is it possible to restore them, and if so, how? I've looked through the Firefox support section, but don't know which (if any) of the solutions would apply to my situation. Thanks.

hello, try if you can [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Undo-System-Restore undo the system restore] & make a [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles|backup of the firefox profile folder]] before you attempt it again...

How to copy my Firefox bookmarks and paste them into another computer?

OK. I found an answer in a thread here but it is already closed. I have an additional question. The moderator said there:
Quoting:
Depending on what you want to do there are a couple of options.
If you want to replace the bookmarks on the other computer with the bookmarks from your desktop, use the method in this link to backup the bookmarks to a file and then restore them on the other computer - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
If you want to add the bookmarks from the desktop to those that already exist on the other computer, you need to export them to an HTML file, and import that file on the other computer. See these links for details:
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Exporting+bookmarks+to+an+HTML+file
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Importing+Bookmarks+from+an+HTML+File
I want to do the second one - "add the bookmarks from the desktop to those that already exist on the other computer"
The problem is that my Firefox is version 4.0. I read somewhere in the bookmarks topics that I should have done nothing before upgrading to version higher than 12.
The thing is my computer is 8 years old and I have only 512 MB RAM. There is no way to upgrade more that v.4.0. My computer can not handle it.
Any suggestions? Can I export and import with v.4.0 safely?

You would have to export the bookmarks to an HTML file on the old (XP) computer.
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML
Then you can copy this file to an USB stick and import this file in Firefox on the other computer.<br />
Importing an HTML backup will merge those bookmarks with already existing bookmarks.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Open Directory)

Firefox 6 has crashed, and corrupted a script file in Applications Data. The result , everytime i try and start Firefox, it says its already running, but it isnt. I have tried rebooting system, removing firefox ,reinstalling and still the problem exists.

How do I restore from a backup Firefox prefs and bookmark after a complete reinstall

My Mac HD software got damaged and I have to do a complete system reinstall. I have a complete backup using Time Machine and want to restore all my Firefox bookmarks and prefs, especially all the stored usernames and passwords. Where do I find the right files? I assume when I have the files, I just copy them into the new software, right?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

I need to find where Firefox bookmarks were kept or how to restore them from a Mac Time Capsule.

My Mac died. I got a new one. I installed a new copy of firefox 4 on the new Mac ( MacBook Pro ) I have been manually reinstalling selected data from a backup on a time capsule. I don't know where to find the old Firefox bookmarks, or what they may be called, or what folder they are in. I would love to recover them!

Bookmarks and Stylesheets

Hi,
We upgraded our system recently from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0(Only Technical).
As of now still we are using old Bex Toolset( New Bex suite yet to upgrade).
So we have Portal in place where in users create their own bookmarks and favourites.So After upgrade so many of their bookmarks out put is not displaying properly i mean in terms of format.
I understood that in 2004s portal theme is overridden by the WebTemplate setting( in terms of stylesheet) So just i wonder whether after upgrade even though we are not using the new tool set this applicable.
Because favorites/bookmarks are not behaving properly as expected.
I appreciate really if you share with me the your experience in this area.
Also I will Definitely say thanks by giving valid Points..
Regards,
BRB

HI BB,

2)And some of the bookmarks are getting Timed out even though same selction criteria works fine with reports link in POrtal
If any one has got similar issue and solution please share with me.
