3 weeks of customization &; settings plus all of my favorites have disappeared
After getting my new Mac, I spent about 3 weeks of setting up my Firefox and all my hundreds of bookmarks correctly and with care, and with all the settings, settings, and the theme that I wanted to.
Yesterday, I tried to load something called JonDo (a program of anonymous browsing) and JonDoFox which appear to be a reliable operation and following this installation, my Firefox suddenly loaded (not by me) as if it came out of the box, no customization or setting everything I had put in place over the past 3 weeks.
I have no idea of what has past and why.
I can't express how angry I am right now on it.
I sent an email to JonDo, but they have not responded.
I lost everything and I have to start all over again?
(I have no idea if I remember now all parameters and settings).

I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all of my favorites have disappeared.
I recently started using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on Windows 7 platform. I got some kind of error message (I think only of Xmarks) about "bookmarks". I clicked on the message to solve the problem and zapp all my favorites have disappeared. I found my profile "bookmarksbackup" file but can not open it. I guess I need a JSON Viewer. I downloaded an opensource Viewer that looked good, but still not get anything that looks remotely to my old favorites. I thought I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my ignorance.
In addition, if the bookmarksbackup files folder it contains, you can try to restore one of it via Firefox Bookmarks (Alt + B) > show all bookmarks > import and backup. See also this.
Alternatively, you can also check your account of Xmarks for bookmarks. If it had been transferred successfully in the past, you can install Xmarks, connect to Xmarks Firefox, and then download the backup.

Have to remind all bookmarks
Hello
Sorry to hear about this. First of all, Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be useful if your bookmarks are lost or missing.
- Click the Bookmarks button
(or
(> Favorites), select show all bookmarks.
- At the top of the library window, click on import and backup , and then select restore.
- Click on the date of the backup of bookmarks you want to recover.
- In the new window that appears, click OK.
- Your bookmarks in the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer . For alternatives, see the article of recover lost or missing bookmarks .
If the above does not work, it could be that a file has been corrupted (namely the places.sqlite file). You can install the extension of Maintenance of places to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first, because they provide useful tips and instructions that may be useful for you:

I installed Firefox 4.0 and all my favorites were there, so I uninstalled 3.6, reopened 4.0 and all my favorites have disappeared.
This has happened
Just once or twice
Is today
Sorry, it seems that you have selected the option to remove my Firefox personal data and customizations when you uninstalled Firefox 3.6. This option removes all the personal data for all versions of Firefox you have installed.
Any chance that you made a backup of these data?

I accidentally restore my iphone6 to an old back upward, and then all my recent photos have disappeared, is it possible to restore? I need help. Please, I beg you. I'm so desperate
Hi desperateme
Your recent photo (in the last 30 days) should be in the photo stream assuming that you use.
Otherwise you can just clean up the phone (settings > General > reset > erase all & content settings) and restore the phone again to a more recent backup.

I have try the Lightroom CC and all my development tools have disappeared. When I select develop, the sidebar is completely blank - black - nothing. Where all the settings go and how can I get back them?
If the Panel is visible and completely empty, open the window-> Menu panels and put checkmarks in the ones you want to display. Alternatively, you can simply press Ctrl/1-6 to bring the different sections. If the sidebar is gone, click the midway small gray triangle on the right side of your screen. Click twice to make it remain displayed.

As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.
For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.
To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:
Menu help > about Firefox
To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/
I know it's tedious, but don't let slip too long or you might get up to have to rebuild everything (the curse of your lack of backups, and if you do regular backups).

Original title: help & support files
Windows 7 Professional. All help & support files have disappeared. I get the message "help and support files cannot start."
How to return please?.
Perhaps. An analysis of file system I think would replace the help files, but you can try it, there is no harm. Just open a command prompt (right click and "open as Administrator"), and then type sfc/scannow

I noticed since the Firefox upgrade, identify a website in my favorites, all the icons disappeared, but if I go to Favorites, view all bookmarks, and then in the bookmarks menu, all icons identifying a web site, are all there. I have always used Firefox, since I got my Mac, but I feel lost, when looking for sites preferred in bookmarks, as some newspapers in a site, using the icon, to identify a site, now, all I have is a list of sites, with no ID, icons same Firefox and Google, have no icons in front of their name.
Hi papapinous,
You should take a look at this article which discusses some of the problems with the latest version of Firefox.
There is some information here that should help you solve your problem. Fortunately, this is a very easy solution.
Hope this helps!

Windows 7 - all the desktop shortcuts have disappeared
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7100 evaluation version)I was using my computer tonight (normal use, nothing happens out of the unusual, without errors or problems etc.). I shut down the system to go for dinner but later when I got to use again, I started it and connected but were none of my icons on my desktop. I got about 26 icons, 4 included shortcuts 'system' to the computer, the user files, network, trash.
When click with the right button on the desktop, the option is there to add a shortcut, navigation and selecting a file results in nothing, no shortcut is visible. When I go to my desktop to users home directory, in the following location: "C:\Users\loggedonusername\Desktop" most of the shortcuts is visible here (including those above, I added that resulted in anything on the desktop) and I can add more within this directory, but they also do not appear. The 'system' ones (computer, user files, network, trash) still show as checked in the menu of desktop customization, unchecking, reticking, change theme and other options does nothing to restore them on my desk.Icons/shortcuts on the start menu are fine (visible and functional) - just nothing I try seems to show those on my desk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.PS - I did a full system scan with the AV, nothing, even with malware/spyware scanners software. I also did a scan with Windows SFC - audit was 100%, no violation error / integrity.Most likely a minor bug with the CR. After execution of the RC for several months I am now facing two minor problems myself with the Explorer shell... (1) the window 'Opens' is enabled preview pane and no matter what I do, it is not off and (2) I had to rebuild my library because they had all kinds of mix upward on the folders they were supposed to point to (my library of music made for my photos, pictures sharp documents downloads pointed to a nonexistent drive, etc.). The good news? The RC is just the RC and is only temporary :-) Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

Hi all
I renewed my membership full CC on 6 January of this year. Payment of 45UKP taken by Adobe. All access to all CC programs disappeared. When I connect it tells me I have one year subscription, but when I tried to download any program it tells me that I left the 0 days of my free trial and I wonder if I want to buy the product. I contacted Adobe customer support chat, they have no idea what is the problem and so just lie - telling someone will contact me by email and the problem will be solved within 24 hours. No one ever contacted me.
Last conversation:
Sidibé: I will increase the cases to the relevant team and our team will contact you by email within 2-3 days and resolve the issue.
Colin Munro: Which is really not good enough. This happened for two weeks now. Told me almost a week she was refitted and someone would contact me. I did not. I paid for the product and I need to use it now. I need someone to contact me today.
Sidibé: Let me check.
Colin Munro: thank you
Sidibé: I see that your case is still in process and however I put a reminder that our team will contact you within 24 hours.
Sidibé: Number of cases: 0217575866
Colin Munro: Through process person never has looked at him yet?
Sidibé: No, means process, our team works closely with the question and we will contact you back as soon as the problem is solved.
Colin Munro: If that was the case, then the bare minimum, I would have expected is someone sent me and informed me about this. It is really really poor service.
Sidibé: I apologize for the inconvenience.
Sidibé: Since our relevant is always present in the case which is why you don't have any email.
Colin Munro: I would like a team dealing with this email me now and confirm this please
Sidibé: However our competent team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.
Sidibé: I assure you that our team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.
Of course, nothing has been heard of Adobe, and I still have no access to the products that I am paying. Any help much appreciated.
Colin

It took a while for firefox on startup when I clicked on the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggest I have reset firefox and all my bookmarks, cookies, etc. would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far, the only thing this computer recognize now is my sign-on so that I can ask this question.
Never mind. It must have just taken some time because now they are all here (weird because it took about 45 min.) Please skip this question.

all the Favorites have disappeared; What bookmarks files I have to restore?
My computer has been destroyed by a virus and now reinstalled Windows. Everything was wiped out, including my favorite sites of Firefox.

Thank you very much.
Make sure you delete all the other files in places in the profile folder if have a copy you of backup of places.sqlite.
