Which parts of my Firefox profile should I regularly backup (backing up all takes too long)?

Ideally I just want to save my bookmarks, my saved passwords - rather than the 0.7G of the whole profile. I can see from the help pages that this means the files places.sqlite (although I don't want to know every website I've been to!) & key3.db and signons.sqlite. But where are these hidden? None of them appear in my 9cf14m2q.default - the only .sqlite is index.sqllite - and there are no .db files!

You may be looking in the folder for the browsing cache. 
The Firefox Profile Folder is in \AppData\Roaming and not in \AppData\Local
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
*C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

After updating my iphone 5s to 7.1 ... the keyboard is crashing and it takes too long to respond, what is the solution? if there any link from which we can download the original 7.1 firmware for A1533 Version?

After updating my iphone 5s to 7.1 ... the keyboard is crashing and it takes too long to respond, what is the solution? if there any link from which we can download the original 7.1 firmware for A1533 Version?

Restoring the iPhone will reload its firmware.
Plug the iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer.
Let it sync. Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

"1) it takes TOOOOOO LONG for multi-row tabs to close when i click "close all/other tabs" and 2) it takes TOO long for Firefox to appear after i click the icon on the desktop"

1) When many tabs are opened in multiple rows (say 50 or 100) it may take an enternity for them to close after I click the appropriate command
2)MOre often than not, it takes the browser too long to appear (open) after I initiat it by clicking the desktop or start menu icon.
NB: My first question is PRIMARY (critcally important) and second is additional (would very much like to receive an answer but it's not critical).
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards, Dmitry.

Sorry about the bookmarks misread, I installed a Multi-Row Tab style, not for me but it in use deleted 126 of 130 tabs in about 3 seconds and then the last 4, no idea why that happens with the with the multi-row style.
Did those 100 pages have web forms in them that you filled in an Firefox may be saving data along with the session.
Here is a test page that you can quickly load up to 120 tabs at a time with an extension such as "Linky". See it if it takes an eternity to close them with the Multi Row tabs extension you are using, then try the same with the extension disabled. Works fast for me all tabs are on one row.

Firefox will let me surf the web but certain sites such as facebook and eBay take too long to respond and i can not login, how can i fix this?

The connection has timed out.
The server at signin.ebay.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I can still look up support on the internet but anything that would require a log on to work will not load and FF will give me this error message. This has happened for a few weeks now on and off. Now it has been 3 days of no log ons whatsoever. PLEASE HELP ME I have homework and eBay auctions ending!

This has been going on for months for me. Time to drop Firefox & go back to IE.

I just updated to firefox 4. i cant send/reply to messages in hotmail or other websites that i have profiles on which have messageing applications. browser also redirects me to random pages and takes too long to load.

I have since removed 4 and gone back to firefox 3, but the problem still exists. Im having issues with Internet Explorer too.
This is an example of the script that fills the ENTIRE webpage, when i try to send/reply to messages, not only in hotmail, but any site that you can send email from.

I don't have any netflix add ons or extensions installed. I only have necessary plug ins installed. I have turned off all add ons and restarted so this issue is not related to an add on, plug in or extension. I also can rule out my dsl provider as I have hooked my pc up to other family members connections with the same provider on the same server and it did the same thing, However their pc has no issue. I have taken my pc to 3 technicians and there are no problems they can find with my registry or any infections or spyware. The PC does the same thing on their connections.All hardware passes every test they can throw at it. I have tried other browsers and reinstalling this one as well and the same thing happens. This really is mind boggling. I have ATT/uverse beta 6.0. There should be no delay in starting up my browser. After startup, it works great no problems but the speed starting up is on par with old fashioned dial up right now. I have 3 gigs of ram available and I have 85 percent capacity left on hard drive , processor speed of 3.4 with dual core processor. Makes no sense at all.

Can I extend the time that Firefox waits before sending me the "problem loading page - taking too long to respond" error message?

I can't get into a development site that colleagues in the office have no difficulty with

Firefox takes too long to load pages. How do I fix this?

Hi guys, I use a laptop, windows 7 home premium intel core i5 cpu and ever since I upgraded to the latest firefox 7 loading pages has been hell. Especially when I open more than one tab. I recently uninstalled it along with bookmarks, cookies etc and reinstalled it but the same thing happens, I don't even have any plugins. Please help anyone. Regards...Grant

I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

After a long time with firefox running (days) it takes too long to terminate

If Firefox has been running for a long time and now consumes a lot of memory (over 1GB of RAM normally) then it takes several minutes to clean and terminate.
This process is not always CPU intensive and sometimes the amount of memory attributed to firefox even increases.
Taking 10 minutes for a computer program to terminate is appaling.

Did you opt out of the Ask Toolbar installation when you installed Foxit Reader? If not, you have it on your system now. There are compatibility problems between that app and Firefox.
Remove it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove it in there.
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Every time I attempt to download Firefox's latest update, this does not happen as it takes too long to connect to the update server?

Firefox is telling me that there is an important update to download.
Each time I attempt to download this update.......I am unable to do so as it is not connecting to the update download site??

How should I go about backing up all my files and system preferences?

Hey, I'm planning on upgrading to snow leopard very soon, but I'm afraid of loosing all my files and preferences. Backing up my files isn't really the problem, it's the backing up of the system / application preferences that worries me. I have well over 150 applications, each customized the way I like. Is it possible to backup and then (after installing 10.6) restore my preferences to my computer without worries of damaging my OS?

Do yourself a favor. Get an external disk that's at least twice the size of the amount used on yur internal HD (plus expected growth). 3 or 4 times is better.
Then make regular backups of your entire system. If you use Time Machine (there are other options, of course), after the lengthy initial backup, let it do it's hourly backups. They're normally very fast. This will get you two large benefits:
When you delete or change something in error (such as Save instead of Save As), or something gets corrupted, you'll have an excellent chance of recovering a previous version, easily.
When your internal HD fails (and they all do, sooner or later), or something else awful happens, you can restore your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any backup: OS, apps, purchase keys, configuration, settings, preferences, data, ... well, you get the idea.

Firefox Profile - How To add Twitter & Facebook URLs?

Just created my Firefox profile, added the bio and web pages with no problem. Cannot add the Twitter or Facebook URLs even though I tried everything that made sense.
What format do you want people to use to add their Twitter and Facebook URLs on the Firefox profiles?
http://Twitter.com/MicheleHappy1 didn't work
@MicheleHappy1 didn't work
Twitter.com/MicheleHappy1 didn't work
Same thing for Facebook! What format do you want or is this part of the Firefox profile system simply FUBAR?

apologies I should have put that in at the beginning. I edited the photo - clicked create - then cover photo. When in position I added text to the image, then realising that I needed to logos for the text to make sense. Currently stuck on photo editor unaware of how to add the logos separately. They are 3 separate photos of the logo's from google, saved as jpegs and png's and I need them to appear on the cover photo.
Many Thanks

IPhone4S! Which parts can I replace?

I dropped my iphone4s. . .
So I want to know which parts can be replaced?
I heard camera, battery, back cover, vibration motor can be possible.
Do U know how much do they cost to exchange in us.

"I want to know which parts can be replaced"
I'd think that you'd be more interested in what parts you'd need to fix the iPhone. There are many teardown videos for the iPhone, and most parts can be obtained over the internet through third-party vendors.

Firefox hangs for about 5 minutes on startup and about that long each time I try to do something. How do I fix this?

My problem is basically that Firefox is deadly slow and unusable because of its slowness. It takes about 5 minutes (I haven't timed it) to bring up a window after I click on the Firefox icon in the dock. It beachballs for a while after the window comes up, and then for about five minutes after I click on the "new tab" button next to the current tab, directly above the address bar.
When I went to get the Troubleshooting Information, it didn't take too long. I was able to click on the Help menu, ask for troubleshooting, wait (a while), and then once the page loaded, I was able to copy the information and scroll around the troubleshooting page without difficulty. Other than that, I haven't had the patience to get to any websites. I'm sending this request from inside Safari.
I used Firefox 24 without any problem. I was unable to automatically upgrade to Firefox 25, so I downloaded it, deleted the old application, and went on my way. I started having this problem, so I took some steps based on the Knowledge Base (not listed in the order I tried them in):
I reset Firefox
I reinstalled Firefox (deleted the old application from the applications folder and dragged in the application from the mounted .dmg again)
I deleted the profile folder
I restarted my computer
I confirmed that I'm not running antivirus software
I verified and repaired my disk with Disk Utility, which showed no errors
I ran Rember (one pass), which showed no errors
I started Firefox in Safe Mode
I have twice now gotten the red bar that says, "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." I am not running antivirus. I tried renaming places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old (there was no places.sqlite-journal), which prevented the red bar from coming up the next time I started Firefox, but two or three Firefox force-quits and relaunches later, it's back again.
Right now I'm looking at 'top' in Terminal, and here's Firefox:
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #WQ #POR #MREG RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VPRVT VSIZE PGRP PPID STATE UID
454 firefox 0.0 00:02.80 25 2 183 534 64M 47M 102M 120M 2894M 454 144 sleeping 1049
Could it be a plugin? I'm not sure where to get this information.
I can post logs from Rember and Disk Utility if that would help.
I am also currently trying to load about:crashes, but right now Firefox is trying to load "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?blahblahblah" and there is a little thing that says "Looking up support.cdn.mozilla.net..." at the bottom of the window, so I'm waiting for it to give up on that. To give you an idea of how long it's taking, it already was trying to reach this URL when I started writing this.
Thanks in advance!
