• just changed HD, saved bookmarks ff precedent, how reload them in the new ff I just downloaded?

  just changed my HD using XP. before the change, I've saved bookmarks in a file. I just put this file on my desktop and can't figure out how to reload all my previous Favorites in the new firefox. When I do a search under desktop, this file is not listed for import.
  What should do?

  What is the name of the file? It must be something like bookmarks-2012-04-02 or bookmarks-2012-04 - 02.json. If she doesn't have the date in the name which is not the serious ones that may still be imported.

  Try to open the history window now Ctrl + Shift + H, and then choose backup and import > import bookmarks in HTML for the .html file or restore > choose a file if you have the .json file.

• I have upgraded to Windows 8. I had to download firefox. I have connected to my account, but my passwords, bookmarks, etc. are not there.

  After that upgrade to Windows 8 FireFox wasn't on my computer so I downloaded it. After have downloaded you I've logged into my account but my password, bookmarks, etc. were not there. How to bring back my profile? I changed my folder view to include hidden files. The only file in the folder of my profile is xxxxx.default with the current date. I have my favorites on my iPad, but I'm afraid to synchronize for fear that it will overwrite the ipad with empty profile rather than the reverse. And I don't think that my passwords are on the Firefox ipad - are they? Help!

  Hi belindawolfe, there is a file a high level called profiles.ini. After you have copied your old profile folder over to the new profile folder, you must add the name of the folder to profiles.ini in order to be able to use it. I think that there are other threads with advice on the best way to do it.

• If I install a newer version (38) of FF, it will allow me to import my passwords, bookmarks, etc.?

  I'm in Italy, but need to FF in English. The shop that built my PC to install it in Italian.
  Since I'm now on 37 FF, I thought I could just download 38 English and install it. But that's assuming, of course, that during installation, 38 FF will ask if I want to import my passwords, bookmarks etc. of 37 before overwriting.
  BUT... I don't know he will ask and fear that 38 will overwrite 37, until I realize he won't ask.
  (In research on language issues in FF, I discovered tools > Options > content > language, which I guess - now, it is set to EN - me 38 FF will fetch in English).

  Hello FxFx, the language in the options option > content will report only to Web sites what is your preferred language.

  You can switch from an Italian firefox 37.0.2 to a generation of 38.0 English by downloading the latest version from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ and install just on top of your current installation - this will not affect and keep all your data such as bookmarks or passwords automatically, because they are stored separately in your profile folder , which is independent of the version of firefox you are running...

• my profile to update automatically when I add bookmarks etc.

  I read on the profile and where to find it. It updates automatically every time that I add new bookmarks etc AND how should I back up my profile on a key whenever I have add bookmarks etc to the profile please. I just changed for Firefox of IE8.

  Thank you
  Pingu70

  I know how to find my profile, it will automatically update each time that I add new bookmarks etc AND how should I back up my profile on a stick:

  The files in your profile are updated When you close Firefox, and your backups/restores/renames/deletes of files must be made when Firefox is down. Once a day early morning when Firefox is running, your favorites are saved by Firefox in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  You do not want to save your bookmarks, whenever you have changed the (at least I don't). You can create your own backup of your bookmarks to your USB drive at any time through Firefox and restore this backup at any time through Firefox perhaps half a minute to make either once you press the button.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups

  What I really recommend that when Firefox is declining would backup not only your current profile, but all your Firefox profiles and that should fit on most USB sticks that you can buy today.

  Profile - backup:
  You should support your Firefox profiles, there is not a lot of data, and you should be back up frequently. There is much more data to other applications in your Windows user library and you should be backup data there, too.

  When you back up all your data to external hard drive (500 GB to 3 TB) user profiles Firefox would be included.

  But it's about Firefox. For Firefox, a USB key would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.

  backup of your Firefox profiles (the following is all on one line)

  xcopy C:\Users\< user name>/d/h/y/c/q/s \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.*

  If you want to carry your bookmarks with refer you to them you would not use the backup .json because it is only for restoration with a complete replacement of your bookmarks. If you want something you can see elsewhere that you might want to put a file to bookmarks exported on your USB key as well.

  Don't know if you know how to use XCOPY to a .bat file or not, but that's how I got all my backups made with applications not least not applications that use files running. The following will not help much if you are not familiar with them.

• I HAVE FF 3.6.21 FACT FF4 INSTALLER ON IT AND all THE IMPORT SETTINGS, BOOKMARKS, ETC. AND I WILL RETURN to 3.6.21 IF I don't LIKE 4 CAN

  I HAVE FF 3.6.21 is FF4 a brand new installation or does install over the existing installation. It doesn't matter not settings, Favorites, passwords stored, etc., or what I need to add to all of this. Finally, if I don't like FF4 can I easily return to FF3

  Firefox 4 is no longer available. If the upgrade, the only version that you can / must go is Firefox version 6.0.1. Firefox 7.0 is scheduled to be released on 27/09/2011 (date is subject to change). After Firefox 4.0, the previous version is "abandoned" as long as the updates of security and stability are concerned and each update replaces the previous version.

  Firefox 6 installation will preserve your prerequisites, passwords, bookmarks etc. Can / should make a backup of your personal information for safety; What happens if you have a hard drive failure?

  • See back up your data and profile backup

  To test the new version 6.0.1 and exit your current Firefox 3.6.21 intact, you can install Firefox Portable. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but it is based on the versions of Firefox released) and only is not supported on this site - has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive and keeps his profile (personal information) separate so that it does not interfere with your current installation of Firefox or privacy settings (Favorites, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.
