• had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone

  Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy

  Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder

  C:\Users\youroldusername\
  

  was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named

  C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
  

  If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

  First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then click in:

  Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  A little luck?

  Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

• I have the Scroll Bar in bookmarks are gone now can it get replaced

  The scroll bar is now missing when I click the icon of bookmarks instead he is just an arrow down. I have a lot of Favorites and now it takes forever to get to the bottom where are my most recent. Please add the scroll bar option.

  Thank you!

  I finally found it. After clicking on the bookmark icon, you must now click on view bookmark Sidebar and it takes you to the bookmarks that I am used to. (when you click the bookmark icon it used to take you directly there)
  I hope this helps someone else!

• URGENT all, but one of my tools are gone - help me get back them please!

  I've been using PP cs4 for a year now - it love (except for frequent accidents, unexpected :-))  I just make sure I have record after only a few steps...

  I must have done something for her today. In the middle of editing a project, I discovered that the only tool that I have in my toolbar is the pen. No arrow, no razor, etc. ONLY the pen. I spent the last 30 minutes, helps it research and online to find a way to get them back.

  What does not work.

  -left click

  -Right click

  -removal of the Tools toolbar and replace it.

  is there a preference? No matter what? anyone? I'm dead in the water without the arrow tool!

  Thank you!

  Try this, it worked for me with the same problem.

  If you use two monitors, drag the Tools menu to monitor A.  Close the tool window.  Now go to the window pull-down menu and select Tools.  The complete toolkit is now available.

  I hope it works for you, I have no idea how it works for me, but it does.  I have the same problem with every prproj I open.

• How to restore old favorites after having made a Firefox update?

  I did a Refresh Firefox to get rid of Bing (it worked). The Mozilla site said she would keep important things, but all bookmarks are gone.

  Sorry to hear about this. Here are two things to try:

  (1) to restore a backup of the bookmark. The following article has steps to call the restore function. If the backup is not available in your current Firefox profile (settings) file, they should be listed by date:

  Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer

  (2) restoring a backup file bookmark old data of Firefox on your desktop. Refresh moves your previous settings to a folder of old data of Firefox on your desktop.

  Do you see this folder? If so, please check inside a folder named semi-randomly and check the inside of a folder named bookmarkbackups. If you have, please use the article #1 above, but "Select a file" option to restore one of the backups in the folder on your desktop.

• My windows 8.1 does not work with the new Firefox update. It worked before the upgrade. How can I fix it?

  After Firefox updated itself automatically, Firefox would not work. I couldn't go online on Firefox because it doesn't open at all. The old Firefox worked.

  You may have seen this article during the process to submit your question, but just in case:

  • Difficulty of problems connecting to websites after Firefox update

  Are you familiar with Windows Task Manager? It allows to determine whether Firefox is present in memory and to cease so that you can try to start again.

  To access the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. You will need to approve the program to make changes to your system. The 'Applications' tab usually has an entry for every visible window. I guess that Firefox will not be there, but if it is and you do not see the window, it's a different problem.

  The "Process" tab will list firefox.exe if Firefox is running in memory, or if it has started and stalled. If it is just sitting there, click it, and then use it button end process to kill him.

  Then, try to start Firefox in Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  A small dialog box should appear. In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Does it work?

  The toolbars are still on display in your browser?

  If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.

  As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.

  Hope that helps.

• Latest ubuntu update - help Firefox and bookmarks missing - why?

  I've just updated to the latest Ubuntu and Firefox lacks the Menu Help and the drop down for bookmarks. The only choices in the right side menu of the mouse in the area of the tabs are:
  Navigateion toolbar, tabs on the toolbar, toolbar add-on, bookmarks on Top and customize. I cannot yet understand what version of Firefox I have.

  It seems that I can add bookmarks, but her do not appear when I press the little drop-down arrow in the Navigation bar.

  In the window of my browser, nothing between the title bar and the navigation bar.

  What gives?

  Thank you
  Herb Miller

  Hi herb,

  It would be helpful to know what version of ubuntu you are using. I am currently in Ubuntu LTS of 11.4 using Firefox canonical 15.0a2 (Aurora)

  Try to press and hold the Alt key on the keyboard that can display all of the menu items.

  To find out which version you are using, try the troubleshooting option. If this does not work in the menu, use the address bar when you type in web addresses and go to Subject: support . It is another method to obtain the same information.

  If you have the favorite item on the file or ubuntu bar then drop down to the bookmarks are not available, use the favorite item that you have, or the sidebar which can be accessed using the keyboard Ctrl + B

  If you disable the menutoolbar so that the firefox button is available the drop-down list of bookmarks reappear (you may need to add back in Customizing).

  You have the menu global integration and/or ubufox installed and active.

• Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

  I would like to use Firefox and I want to copy the Favorites I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and the Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is friendlier, since I do a lot of writing.

  You need to update Firefox 6.0.1 via help > topic > check updates
  before trial rather than being disappointed with an updated Firefox after the test.

  All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks to HTML file to copy the Favorites. But according to the documentation, you can import directly from Safari. I hope that this applies to your Mac, because it does not appear as an option for me on Windows 7.

  Import bookmarks - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari

  "Firefox is important Safari settings automatically. Just go to file > import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes that you want to import. For example, bookmark Safari will appear in the bookmarks menu to Firefox as "Safari". Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari bookmarks bar will automatically appear on your Firefox bookmarks bar, too. "

  If this does not work:

  Export bookmarks in Safari: (from Safari Help)

  1. Choose file > export bookmarks.
  2. Specify a location for the exported file. The file name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.

  Import of bookmarks in Firefox:

  1. "Command-SHIFT-B' to display the list of bookmarks library, can be done in the bookmarks menu >"show all bookmarks ".
  2. "Import and backup" menu > import HTML > HTML file

     (unless you see Safari)

  Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display such menus used on Safari (on a PC, it's the 'Alt' key).

  Firefox is highly customizable so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what we would do in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the 'same' function probably give you much more functionality and control. The look of Firefox by following more like 3.6 would be interesting if you're used to other older browsers - Safari grew up independently for other browsers are more similar.

  You can make Firefox 6.0.1 look to Firefox 3.6. *, see numbered items 1-10 of the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 to 8.0, resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

• I refreshed Firefox, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?

  At the suggestion of Firefox, I refreshed, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?

  When updating Firefox, it creates a folder on the desktop called "old Firefox data." According to Firefox, it's when my old settings were saved. The question to the community, it is where I can move some of these old settings (and what are those FireFPT) to restore my old settings. Time Machine using nothing else that place an old version of FireFox in my app folder.

  I have several clients and staff that need to be restored as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

• Images are the scale is no longer with (img {max-width: 100% ;}) css from the 34.0.5 in firefox update, it still works fine in IE and chrome.})

  My site was working fine up until firefox updated 34.0.5. Now the images will not scale to fit the box more. I use flexbox so that the site is changing to adapt to the size of the browser. In css, I set img {max-width: 100% ;} and this would make the jpg file size automatically to fit the area they were in, but no more than Mozilla really screwed up this with updated 34.0.5.} My site still works fine with IE and Chrome, but 70% of my web traffic using firefox so I would really like this to work in firefox.
  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  I work by setting a special parameter in CSS for the images that I needed to scale and then I have it referenced by SPAN for each img in HTML, not quite how I wanted it to work since now images filling the box even with monitors really big format, which means that they could now be blurred on a 4 k monitor but firefox left me no choice. Looks like I have going to aid in future chrome like firefox really shit the bed on this 34.0.5 updated
