• Recently, when I try to access Firefox I get Windows Media Center (WMC) instead. I want to access my old Firefox bookmarks/favorites.

  My problem with Firefox/WMC is related to a user account. So I've set up a new user account, and I can access in Firefox. I wish I could import my bookmarks/favorites Firefox associated with my old user account to my new user account. The instructions I've seen all say to go to the old account from Firefox, but I can't get in. Is there a way to access my old favorites/bookmarks and transfer them to Firefox on my new user account?

  There are two, the Profile Manager and the profile folder that the data is stored in. (if you refresh at any time, that data will be in a folder on the desktop called "Old data from Firefox")

  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

  Open the folder of a new profile and copy the files from the old to crush are a messy hack as well.

• In 31.0, how to restore drop-down menus practices of bookmarks/favorites in the toolbar?

  When I use the personalization feature to move the bookmarks/favorites icon in the toolbar, all elements of the toolbar compress to a menu drop down on the right side of the toolbar and the address box expands to fill the entire toolbar.

  30.0, when I performed this customization, I have a drop down menu wonderfully practice at the far left of the toolbar of bookmarks and Favorites.

  How to restore this drop in 31.0? I find it difficult to use separate bookmarks toolbar and vertical screen space wasted.

  Thanks cor - el for your kind and quick response.

  As an alternative, I have already started using the sidebar button in the toolbar, but frankly, it is not as convenient as this menu drop-down sugar that I have referred to in my question and it shows only the bookmarks, Favorites. For the latter, I have to go into the menu of the toolbar, and then click Favorites, which is then displayed as a menu drop-down. Not bad, but not as practice.

• Copy a folder of bookmarks/favorites of old installon

  I had a damaged computer Win 8. I thought that I had identified the favorites/bookmarks folder.
  (places.sqlite) copied to a disc of stick.

  I copied this file in my new (now Win7) operating system. Foxfire files, but it didn't work. Actually removed some bookmarkes 36 new that I had already done. Last updated restoration has failed.

  Another site suggested that I backup Favorites (on my stick drive) on my backup computer. This is more than a year, but that doesn't work anymore. The backup file was named bookmarks-2004-02-13json.
  This came from a different computer on Windows 7.

  So I was able to save, but I can't find a way to restore it to this computer. What gives?

  TIA

  To restore the json file go to Favorites > > show all bookmarks > > import and backup > > food > > Choose file , then select the json file.

• Can I copy or transfer my bookmarks/favorites from my PC version to my version of the iMac? If so, how? Thank you

  From a PC, I converted to an iMac. I have a lot of bookmarks or Favorites on my PC version of Firefox. Is it possible to transfer or copy them in steps as little as possible?

• How can I stop Firefox 7 (or 8) to insert the logo of Mozilla instead of the logo of the company during the creation of a bookmarked favorite desktop icon?

  When I drag a copy a favorite site of Firefox Bookmarks without a title on my desktop, the icon of the company is replaced by Mozilla icon. This translates all my icons to the Office looking for the same thing, even if individual labels are preserved.

  If you create an internet shortcut in this way this shortcut then gets the icon of the default browser.
  
  If you want a different icon (favicon) then you must assign you this icon for the shortcut on the desktop (right click: properties).
  
  You can usually get the favorite icon if you add 'favicon.ico' to the main area of a website (for example http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display favorite icon in a tab and save this image to a folder or see if you can find it in "tools > Page Info > media.

• Safari 8.0 - 9.0 100% usage Cpu OSX 10.11.3 that can relate to the bookmarks / favorites

  I have a very strange problem like many, I remember Yosemite until last El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) and Safari Version 9.0.3 (11601.4.4) indeed, it started to become more annoying over time. Safari sometimes goes upward at 100% cpu usage, sometimes even more, but it is directly on the process of safari, all child processes are the normal CPU including wireless networking usage. I started because of debugging that until now I can't to closed source. I tried deleting all the cache, cookies, bookmarks and all data stored in what concerns the Safari.app, including navigation and other databases. It doesn't have a lot of help. I've created a new test account on my macbook pro, then tried to reproduce the problem with osx plain-set with safari, but after hours of use could not reproduce the problem. Then I imported Bookmarks.plist on my account current account set correctly, after less then 15 minutes, safari rose to 100% cpu again usage. I also tried to use iCloud to automatically migrate the data from safari snacks I made mistake in manual transfer, but it seems icloud backup safari is also problem back. My favorite looks normal, nothing to share here, a few favorite pages stored in a subdirectory in Favorites and couple more bookmarks but especially file plist format seems to be corrupted itself. I couldn't find that question is strictly linked to a Web site, it seems that this could be linked to the favorite bookmarks. Does anyone have and solution on this issue?

  PS. I have no problem with other browsers, such as Opera, Chrome, Firefox - but using another browser is not the solution. If this could be useful I took part in the beta to preview at Yosemite program, I returned to normal release with the first public version of Yosemite, but I don't really think that it is the source of the problem.

Move these files and only those which, on the desktop, leaving the window open. Restart the application and test. If there is no change, leave again and put the files that you moved back where they were, crushing those who could be created in their place. If not, remove the files that you moved. The browser history will be empty. If possible, restore deleted files from a previous backup problem.

• In Firefox updated, my new bookmarks (Favorites) do not appear in Unsorted Bookmarks... or anywhere... and are not for editing when I double-click on the star.

  Used Firefox (and Xmarks) for many years without problem.
  Since the upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, I can't create new bookmarks. When I have a Web page 'star', it does not appear in the folder of Unsorted Bookmarks OR at the bottom of my list of unsorted bookmarks. I'm unable to 1) find my bookmark ANYWHERE and 2) double click on the star to change my bookmark.
  Why am I having this problem? I spent too much time quite several times now trying to figure out what was once a task fundamental, almost blind.
  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

• I try to import bookmarks (Favorites) in IE, but when I go to 'file' as the direct instructions, 'import' option is not available for select (it shows only weakly and won't answer). What now?

  Carefully, I tried to follow the instructions to import IE Favorites, as it appears in Firefox "Help". The choice of 'import' is simply not available under 'File', as it is supposed to be.

• When I connect to another computer, office, I can't access my favorites. Only available bookmarks are the other owners of computers.

  If Mozilla is server-based, why are my bookmarks/favorites not available when I connect to my account? Thanks for any help!

  This must be provided. Firefox is not based on server it is installed on your device.

  It is possible to synchronize the devices using Firefox Sync, but it is not appropriate if you use someone elses computer.

  You might consider taking a copy of your bookmarks with you or placing them available somewhere on the web (or on a medium such as a memory stick).

  • Use bookmarks HTML
    • Export your bookmarks as HTML. Open this file with Firefox. Try it first on your local computer.
    • See Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
    • Noticing no need to import the file it will be readable in Firefox. It is not not searchable from the address bar or bookmarks manager, but it should be a useful list of usable and searchable.
  • Use a Firefox profile on the other computer.
    If you have Firefox installed and the permission of the owner of the other computer (it can be your own additional machine), you will be able to synchronize or migrate the profile details, including bookmarks. Or just restore a set of bookmarks from the other machine.

• I want that my default Menu bookmark to Favorites Office

  If I want to access my menu bookmark on my Android device, I have to do the following:
  1 - type on the address bar
  2 - tap on the bookmark tap where it shows the tabs ' Top Sites/Bookmakrs/history '.
  3 - tap on Favorites Office
  4 - tap on the bookmarks menu.

  There's 4 things that I have to hit until I'm able to go pick the site that I want to visit. What I want is for my "desktop Menu bookmarks/favorites / ' folder is opened as soon as I tap on the address bar, pourriez please let me know how to do this? Thank you!

  It is not possible. You should be able to find your Office bookmarks quickly by typing a few letters of the bookmark name or site. Like Firefox has more historical navigation to work with Firefox should be able to find the sites you visit most often more quickly.

• I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords

  I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?

  Sorry you have coming.

  See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.

  The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

• recovery of Favorites and bookmarks

  I work in a system recovery to a desktop pc with ms vista home premium 64-bit OS.

  the system would not start after months of get slower and slower boot times.  tried to do

  system recovery when finally be able to start the system but when choosing a backup all files recovery

  program has failed and the display went blank.  Impossible to recover or restart since.  suspecting HDD

  failure (even if NOT functioning HD noise) or a file corrupted (boot or startup).  all the system passed diagnostics?

  If the intention of full system re - install OEM (no backups have been made before) disc.

  We are planning to check the disc first then put as secondary in other pc to test and backup

  files of the disc if you work.  If this process seems correct AND can backup/restore the

  Favorites/bookmarks in browsers?  Can they be resettled if so, after the re - install? (old-fashioned or)

  the new hard drive)

  the owner has a lot of Favorites and bookmrks, and if these cannot be reinstalled then try to retrieve all files

  may not be important.  I was told that it takes a LONG time to copy a file from hard drive (750 GB drive).

  Maybe 50 GB used.

  Please let me know what you think that went and on this stimulus package with your advice.
