Why were all of my Favorites not copied to Bookmarks when I downloaded Firefox?

All of my favorites were not copied to Bookmarks. Only favorites A-H show up in my Bookmarks, the rest of them are not there. Why did it not copy all of my Favorites?

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

My favorites didn't transfer over when I downloaded firefox. how to import favorites from internet explorer 9 to firefox 4.1

None of my favorites from internet explorer transferred to firefox when I downloaded firefox. How can I get my old favorites into bookmarks in firefox 4.1? Thank you.

Please see here: [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]]

I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

When I downloaded Firefox, it did not copy my Favorites List from Internet Explorer

When I downloaded Firefox, it did not copy my Favorites Bar from Internet Explorer. If it did, I don't know where to find it on Firefox. Can you help?

Look for a folder named '''from Internet Explorer''' in your bookmarks.

Why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

As a rule syncing is one way, from the library to the device. There should have been a warning that media content on the device would be removed and replaced with that in the local library. If the content were still on the device it could be recovered with the steps in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can redownload your qualifying past purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon store, etc. Do you have the previous computer your device synced with, or a backup, from which the library could be recovered?

Just changed to Firefox from Ex 9 and can't find previous tab "Favorites"--not referring to Bookmarks?

Just changed fromExplr 9 to Firefox. New page does not show my list of "Favorites"--not referring to Bookmarks. Had Att.com as homepage before.

Bookmarks and history are stored together in your profile folder in a database file named places.sqlite. These articles should help with restoring as much or as little of your other profile as you like:
Locating the folder: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help]
The following article has suggestions for recovering bookmarks: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks Lost Bookmarks | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
To move more settings, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Hope this helps.

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

This is the last version of Firefox which will work with PPC Macs. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
THERE'S your option, right there.

That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM. Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
Is slim involved? Probably. That is the source of many problems. But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx". Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit. That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult. So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc. This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic. Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them. Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
Edit: adding one more:
4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox. I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.

Yahoo is my homepage, when I downloaded Firefox 4 my email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

When I downloaded firefox, it also downloaded McAffee Security Scan Plus. Why? Is this going to interfere with my other anti-virus?

downloaded firefox and also downloaded McAffee Security Scan Plus.
Why? Will it interfere with my other anti-virus

Where did you download Firefox from? It does not come with McAfee Security Scan if you download it from http://www.mozilla.com/ - it has no extra applications included.
Are you sure it was not a plugin that included the McAfee Security Scan, for example the Adobe Flash plugin will by default include it.

When i downloaded firefox i choose ur tools i do not like it can i have my old ones back

when i downloaded firefox it asked if i wanted to use firefox browser or my old one. not knowing i would loose things. is there a way to switch back please

What is it that you have lost and want back ?
And was your ''old browser'' another version of Firefox or a completely different browser.
If for instance you have lost Google Toolbars not that this is no longer supported by Google on Firefox because basically it adds very little if any functionality that Firefox does not already have, (and you can still gain access to google bookmarks if that happens to be one of your problems).

Post back with more information about your problems please.
