All the possible ways to recover the history of Firefox?

I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I didn't like it so I went down to Firefox 3.5. I had to reboot my computer. After that, my favorites are still there, but my story had disappeared.

I'm extremely desperate to get it back and it was making me feel upset throughout the day now.

If you downgraded to Firefox 3.5 Firefox 4, it will be deleted the history and cookies, demotion to 3.6 does not remove these data. This is because Firefox 4 uses a new format to store cookies, bookmarks and history. Firefox 3.6 can read this format, but Firefox 3.5 cannot. Firefox 3.5 will qualify the new formats of corrupted files and replace them with the new files, import bookmarks from a backup.

As you seem to be using Firefox 3.6.16 now, you may be able to recover. Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it, see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles

Now close Firefox. Is there a file called places.sqlite.corrupt? If there is, rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old, and then rename places.sqlite.corrupt to places.sqlite, restart Firefox and it should you have history and bookmarks in the time that you use Firefox 4.

  • Is there a way to recover deleted history sites? Also, a way to prevent unauthorized users to erase history?

    Is there a way to recover deleted history sites? Also, a way to prevent unauthorized users to erase history?

    You need administrative rights to do this. Be careful as it is possible to easily create a very difficult to solve waste.

    Run gpedit.msc

    Reach

    -User configuration

    -Administrative templates

    -Windows components

    -Internet Explorer

    -Delete browsing history

    Disable the feature turned on 'delete browsing history '.

    You also probably want to configure

    -InPrivate

    Disable the active InPrivate browsing

    If you use IE8; Otherwise, the user can simply avoid registering in the first place.

    Also - the browser menus

    Tools menu: Disable Internet Options... menu active

    would be a good thing; Anyone who shouldn't be allowed to delete the history of should not be also change too much in the Internet Options.

    For some reason, changes to this setting of group policy have no effect in IE6 and IE8 on a workgroup computer XP Pro.

    In fact, I would like to disable the entire Tools menu item; However, there don't seem to be any means to do.

    Run gpupdate /Wait:0

    Any user who cannot access gpedit.msc, editing the registry (regedit.exe, regedt32.exe) or mmc.exe may re-activate it now grayed out in the menu items.

    Note: mmc.exe can be activated by right clicking my computer even as a limited user. Remove or deny permissions to these files for administrator users.

    I would like to configure them on a per user or user group basis. Does anyone know of a way to do by not part of a domain?

    I know no direct way to recover deleted history sites. Perhaps, they enter the trash somewhere. They may be captured by the network of monitoring programs, even if they have been deleted from the personal computer.

  • Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

    Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • After downloading the 23.0.1 version I've lost all the history, but no bookmarks. How can I recover ancient history? Recovery of "import and backup" does not help

    My story memorable and kept going back quite a few months. After the release of Firefox for 23.0.1 I lost all my history and Firefox keeps only the websites visited once the new version has been installed. My favorites were selected. I tried to get back in "Import and backup", but it goes back only to the date of the new facility. I tried places.sqlite "Roaming", but there is only one with the current date. Is there a way to recover the lost history? Why Firefox was losing it? It's going to happen averytime that updates Firefox?

    Manually back up your bookmarks. If you have used the 'import', you have already lost some information by overwriting. As a matter of course you should always save current bookmarks manually before using any restorations.

    This way you can make sure you are able to restore the current set. Your backup .json file put a safe off-trail program or Firefox profile. The desktop of Windows or the removable media would be appropriate.

    Firefox creates a bookmark, but does nothing about backup history. Fortunately Windows probably backup previous versions of your files places.sqlite and this is the database with the history and bookmarks in it. See if you can recover a recent version of this, it will restore your story up to the date of the restored file.

    Then import your latest bookmarks from anywhere where they were rescued. Import replaces the slightly older bookmarks from the Windows file.

    You my wish also can install and run the addon places maintenance.

    That can be used to check and repair the places.sqlite database. It will give a brief report. Note If the places.sqlite runs out of space, he begins removing history.

    In the future you my wish to regularly create occasional backups of your profile or at least your places.sqlite

  • How can I know all the history for any shape?

    How can I know all the background and updates on any form of user names and the time or what on the log files?

    Hello.

    On a form, the historical record is limited to the user who created the file, and when it was created, or updated.
    If you need more information, you will need to implement an audit trail.

  • How to cancel ALL the functions "improved" Firefox 4 - feeling, back all the old way, without EVEN more PLUGINS.

    Several issues have already been similar to this announcement, but the questions and answers solves most of the point. Firefox 4 now is too similar to Chrome. We accepted Chrome, not because he was handsome, but because she was thin. The snazzy features like bars of contextual State compared to a straight line across the bottom and the WebRep on top are NOT an improvement. They can look pretty until you need them but they interfere with ease of use. The solutions presented, as they are, tend to add this device or this plugin to change the appearance, but this only adds to the mess. So the question in short: How do old back, blocks, but less-is-more simply efficient and where everything belongs? Thank you!

    You cannot restore the changes by removing support for features like happened with the status bar. These changes can be restored only by an extension (status-4-Evar). Another change can be undone by activating / deactivating prefs or through code in userChrome.css that does not require an extension, but require modifying the userChrome.css file and adding a specific CSS code.

  • Miss me the function clear history in the history menu Firefox

    I am currently using Firefox 21. Since the 19th, the function 'clear history' in the menu history Firefox disappeared. So no way click on it and clear the history you like, last time... or everything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the browser several times without change. Only way to clear the history is by manually deleting on the left side of the window after doing Ctrl + h is it possible to set the browser?

    I understand that the historical timeout mechanism put in place to improve the performance of Firefox can not be turned off again (stable release and yet the most recent Firefox).

  • Dragging my updated firefox to update to the latest version and now the game I play which is a flash based game lag all the time in firefox, but not in Internet Explorer

    OK so I play a game called Emporea on my PC and it uses flash, I've never had a problem then I refreshed firefox as she suggested and it updated to the latest version, I've never had problems with it before on previous versions and now, with this, the lag is so bad that it makes the game almost unplayable. I tried to open it in other browsers such as IE, and it works very well in people. so, the question is somewhere with firefox, I've updated my flash drive and still no change in firefox

    One of the changes in Firefox 48-49 title is e10s, separating the process of browser interface process page content. The performance impact of this can vary a lot between the systems, and it would be useful to know if you have this feature enabled. To check this, either:

    • button '3-bar' menu > '? ' button > Troubleshooting Information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste Subject: support in the address bar and press enter

    In the first table on the page, find the line of Multiprocess Windows and see if the number on the left side of the fraction is greater than zero. If so, you are using e10s.

    If you use e10s:

    To determine if this feature is causing this problem, you can turn off as follows:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the cars and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 to switch the value from true to false

    Note: the exact name of this preference may vary, but it will start by Browser.Tabs.Remote.AutoStart

    On your next startup of Firefox, it must be run in the traditional way. Any difference?
