10 fresh WIndows install and sync firefox password delete all my favorites!

After 8 or 9 years my favorites from FF, a recent new Windows 10 installation and synchronization FF have wreaks havoc with my favorites. Assuming that change a password has been the the most innocuous thing we can do to restore a password to synchronize these bookmarks, I get the shock of my life all my favorites have been deleted on the server because of this change in password! No warning whatsoever! How the hell I will restore these bookmarks to point has up if they do not exist on a new operating system. I did a windows image to the top of the previous Windows 7 but I don't see how I can just choose the FF backup without restoring the whole operating system! Can anyone help with this, please? Why the hell can't access these bookmarks from the servers?

I don't think that these backup containers have a particular encryption. There are tutorials on the internet how to extract specific data out of them:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125704/how-to-extract-individual-files-from-a-Windows-7-system-image-backup/

If you do, you'll want to create a copy of your old profile folder - this should usually located on drive \Users\ < your user name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles:
Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

  • LastPass Manager of password does not work with latest Firefox after component download plug-in software, install and restart Firefox.

    I use FireFox 20.0. I downloaded the add-in, installed and restarted FireFox but LastPass does not appear in the add-ins or he fills in details of connection on the sites that I have in my LastPass Vault.

    What was the latest version of Firefox, which has worked with LastPass? Or this is your first installation of the extension?

    Normally extensions will appear on the next tab. If an extension is disabled, it will be in a section in gray at the bottom. You can find it there?

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    If you are having trouble installing a new extension, one of your settings files may be damaged. Rather than post a lot of steps that may be irrelevant, please let us know if you think it would be useful.

    If you run Firefox 21 now, there is another possibility. LastPass extension seems to offer the possibility to install your personal settings (AKA profile folder) or in the folder 'application '. In Firefox, 21, has moved the folder 'application '. You could try to reinstall the add-on in your profile folder if you have the first time.

    For a week, whenever I turn on my computer, the same e-mail to a date and time come in yet.  The messages that I had deleted from the deleted items folder are back there once again.  I've sent or forwarded messages are not in the "sent" folder.    I entered the server and delete these messages and prevents them from coming back, but the most recent messages are the same.  Whenever I turn on the computer, previously received messages come in, as if they had never been delivered before.

  • Is it possible to install and use firefox 5 separately without updating my 3.6.18 installation?

    I'd just like to continue to use my Version 3.6.18 for awhile I have experiment and become familiar with Firefox 5 before making a decision to upgrade. Would keep the lead 2 separate versions to problems? Current system is Windows 7SP1 edit

    Note Windows 7 and other windows have hidden files, make sure that you include them in your backup.

    Make sure that you will be able to see all of your files when copying.

    (it is the step #10 in http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/windows-7/win7.htm )
    Station work, Tools(or View), folder, Options display
    the
    files and folders hidden
    (_) do not show hidden files, folders,
    (X) hidden file show, folders or disks
    [_] hide drives empty in the computer folder
    [_] Hide extensions of known file types
    [_] Hide protected files (recommended) operating system

    before you start as a precaution, back up your complete profiles

    1. Watch the window-7 hidden files Note (below)
    2. type of topic: support in the address bar
    3. Click on 'open containing folder '.
    4. Make a note of the name of the file, it contains the name of your profile
    5. mount a directory in your profile folder, the profile folder contains your profile and all other profiles you may have.
    6. mount a directory more to your folder of firefox
    7. Back up your profile folder and your profiles.ini on an empty USB key file (preferred). I prefer to use the XCOPY command myself, but you can copy a Windows Explorer window in a window of Windows Explorer that shows your USB - stick. Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the file and the file on the USB key, what you see copy don't move not to when you drag

    Your main reference from that moment is

    Download 5.0 from the download link on http://www.mozilla.org (do not use the link .com it will try to update your 3.6.18)

    CTRL + J to display the Download Manager (in Fx5 it ends at the end of the download, so get used to reopen)

    Start the installation as usual, install the application in its own directory, not the one that is your 3.6.18. You will probably need to haveit Firefox 7, so you can choose something different from how I named mine

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox 5.0\

    At the end of the download, do not run firefox, your old Firefox is the default value.

    Rename the new firefox 5 shortcuts to the Office so that you can identify as Fx5

    You must change the properties so that the target is something like
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox 5.0\firefox.exe ' p - Firefox-five-no-remote

    The name that you chose when you installed, this name will probably last you through Firefox 7. in order to choose the right directory name when you install Firefox accordingly.

    That '-no - remote ' is what will allow you to run both at the same time later. Given that this is not your default browser other applications such as email will not recognize this browser unless the email is web-based and you started from this browser.

    You can play with Firefox 5, as long as start you with - no.-remote

    Later, you can copy your old profile Firefox 3 in your profile Firefox 5 and test even more.

    You can make Firefox 5.0 resemble Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered 1 to 10 in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)

    I would suggest to color toolbars to identify your 5.0 other profiles, at the very least, create a folder named "* Fx5 * ' to the left of the toolbar of bookmarks.

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    =========================

    Error message after you install an update of Windows Internet Explorer from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "cannot display the webpage".
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942818

    If not help to tweak the parameters of your third-party firewall, try the following:

    1. disable your antivirus, all modules of Norton (as applicable), a real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (with the exception of Windows Defender; includes the Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG AS guard.exe, SpySweeper guards, etc.), disable the third-party firewall AND THEN select Windows Firewall.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) except #4 below until your antivirus application has been reactivated!  If you use a free ZA firewall, you may need to uninstall instead of disable.

    2 uninstall 'update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 7 (or 8) for Vista (KB976325)' or "Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB976325)" via start | Control Panel | The Maintenance and the system (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | Installed updates day & reboot.

    3 d - c #1 above.

    4 manually run Windows Update and install important updates available (i.e. KB976325).

    5 reboot & make sure everything in #1 above is on again and, if necessary, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstalling) your third-party firewall.

    =====================================

    For individuals, please visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy.  If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

    • Internet Explorer 6?
    • Internet Explorer 7?
    • Internet Explorer 8?

    Yes - the instructions may vary by"version", if you need to know what version (ALT + H, yet the ALT key, release H and press A then all the buttons then in Internet Explorer) Internet Explorer you use.

    For example: to delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer 7

    1. Open Internet Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicking Internet Options.

    2. Click the general tab and then, under browsing history, click delete.

    3. Under history, click clear history, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the history.

    4. Click close, and then click OK.

    To remove all or part of your browsing history in Internet Explorer 8

    1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the Start button and then about Internet Explorer.

    2. Click the safety button, and then click delete browsing history.

    3. If you do not want to delete the cookies and files associated with websites in your Favorites list, check the box of data from the Web site preserve Favorites .

    4. Select the check box next to each category of information you want to delete.

    5. Click Remove.

    As for the rest of your question - you need to better define what you mean by "go private" because if all you want to say is do not keep a history - just sure the value 0 days or put empty when you close Internet Explorer.  I wouldn't consider that private browsing, but some might if they are simply hidden some of their most obvious pieces of the local prying.
