• update the bookmarks broken after Firefox 14.01

  Everything worked fine until the update. I can reach the sites with a google search, but the Favorites and bookmarks bar does not work. As far as I can tell that the location information is still correct. Someone else has had this problem before or know of a fix?

  Hello

  Please check if this happens in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensionsand themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to check if an extension, theme, option or a hardware acceleration is causing issues. Deactivation/activation of hardware acceleration and some types of modules in normal mode may require a restart of Firefox.

• Bookmarks lost after reformatting my SSD. How to bring back the profile/bookmarks?

  All Favorites disappeared after I reformatted the SSD drive which contained my profile folder. You save on your end, as well as locally (on my computer)? It just happened today, if that helps at all. I provide some information about the profile if it would make a difference. Thank you!

  Mozilla is not a copy of your browser data unless you subscribe to the synchronization service. In this case, you should be able to use your credentials to sync to connect your Firefox newly installed to your account. I'm not an expert in sync, so that's all I can tell you about Sync.

  If you set never sync, then you can always retrieve data depend on what kind of format you did. In some cases, Windows creates a C:\Windows.old folder with your old data. In other cases, utilities like Piriform Recuva may be able to rebuild some of the files. But then there are moments where it's hopeless...

• Capacity lost to bookmark pages after recent updates

  Firefox has been working great until recent updates of the version 39.

  I have now lost my ability to bookmark a page. When I click on the star icon as I always got it, the Star turns bright blue and gives the appearance that the bookmark is transferred - or "thrown in"-the bookmark icon. But page never appears anywhere in my favorites.

  Before when I clicked on the star, I've always had a box that would allow me to change the name I wanted the bookmark for the name of the bookmark and the Bookmark menu different locations I could choose as to where I wanted to go. Now I don't get any box.

  I know this must be a consequence of the recent update changes and not something in my computer because I have never had this simulation to "launch" the bookmark before. Or the brilliant blue star.

  OK, try clicking on default settings, as shown - controls customize Firefox, buttons, and toolbars.

  If it doesn't it try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  If still no joy, try refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) which can resolve many issues by restoring Firefox as his default from factory and save your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

  Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

  Refresh for Firefox:

  1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:
     • Click the menu button

       

       click Help

       

  and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

• If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
• At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
• Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
• Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

Thank you.

  • Rename the * prefs.js in the profile folder in * prefs_2.js (for backup, but Firefox would not be able to see them).
  • Exit Firefox via file - Exit menu;
  • Restart Firefox, look for the question.

  All my tabs are lost after you download an add-on. The tabs start showing my default homepage. Do I have to have all closed tabs before you download an add-on Firefox? Even the site of add-on Firefox restarts as my default homepage. Is there an add-on to prevent that from happening?

• Firefox is reset, cannot restore my profile

  Firefox is reset for any reason, was able to restore my bookmarks and passwords but could not recover my extensions. I did the procedure of profile (creating a new default profile and the copy - paste of my old data in this folder after deleting everything) and Firefox still loads a blank canvas when I select this profile.

  I can't batch reinstall of my xpi and I don't want to lose all the information contained in some of my extensions (configuration/data etc.). Anyone with the same problem?

  Hmm, you should see some personal data in the profile if everything fell into its correct place. You can try it another way?

  First of all, make sure that Firefox is completely closed. So go ahead and open these two folders:

  (1) the old data of Firefox

  (2) your Firefox profiles folder. For quicker access to this file, you can type or paste the following text in the start search box menu (and press enter) or in the address bar in a window of Windows Explorer:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Then, copy your previous profile from #1 to #2 folder (for example, right-click > copy #1 and right click > paste to #2).

  In the #1 window, type or paste this into the address bar and press ENTER:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
  

  In this folder, you should see a file called profiles.ini. If Windows hides the extension .ini, you can display it. See this Microsoft article on measures for this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

  Right click > edit the file profiles.ini and it should open in Notepad. You should see something like the following:

  [General]
  StartWithLastProfile=1
  

  [Profile0]
  Name=default
  IsRelative=1
  Path=Profiles/asdf1234.default
  Default=1
  

  There may be several entries, but you want to change which is currently the default and dysfunctional.

  Change the part of path after profiles / to match the name of the folder that you pasted in the #2 window. Then try to start new Firefox

  4. in the menu, bookmarks and then organize bookmarks, then button import and backup, then restore, then select a day to restore from. You should now have your backups Firefoxes bookmarks.

• Not all facilities of the extension. They get stuck at < nom_extension > ' will be installed after Firefox restarts." Restarting Firefox does not change this

  I've always been able to install extensions with no problems until a few days ago. Since then, the extension installation process gets stuck to where they appear in the list of extensions (topic: addons) with the message < name > "will be installed after you restart Firefox." Restart of Firefox has no effect on this point - after that restart, the extension still says "will be installed after Firefox restarts." I tried several restarts Firefox and I tried to install other extensions, and the same thing happens with all I'm trying to install the extension.

  I know I'm running an outdated version of Firefox, but please ignore this. I have a good reason for it.

  It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

  Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/profiles

  New files will be created if necessary.

  See "extension corrupted files:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/unable+to+install+add-ons

  If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button at the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.

  If this did not help, then also delete the files addons.json and addons.sqlite possible.

  You can check for problems with preferences.

  Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

• After Firefox update, my gmails opens in separate instances of minimized windows of Firefox. Any suggestions?

  After an automatic update of Firefox, my gmails began to open in separate instances of minimized windows of Firefox. The old way was that any email that I clicked would open full screen in the same instance of Firefox and the same enlarged window. Any suggestions on how to get back to the old way?

  First of all, try updating to the recently released 15 Firefox, see if that solves your problem. Update Firefox to the latest version.

  If it doesn't, try resetting Firefox.

  To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

• Why Firefox keep resetting my homepage to Google? I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO ADDRESS WHY EACH TIME I PULL UP OF FIREFOX

  I don't want Google as my home page, or use it as my default search engine. WHY IS that Firefox is constantly reset my homepage to Google? I hope no more Google, so I DON'T want TO HAVE IT as MY HOMEPAGE. It's really pissing me off to have to return my homepage almost everytime I open Firefox. In addition, I have my anti-spyware configured to block any attempt to change my homepage, and I see the warning popping up almost every 20 minutes. This is NOT acceptable and begins to make me question YOUR credibility if you put in your service to the things that are reached that the user very clearly and in a targeted manner wants.

  I've been a user of Mozilla for something like 18 years. This latest version is the FIRST TIME that I felt like your service is less above board. Fix it, or I'll find something else. I won't be using a product that ignores my intended way of use. I only give you the way to lea to solve this problem, because you have (at least appeared) reliable up to this point. My patience is not long in this respect.

  I'm sorry that you are having this problem. I can assure you that we will be using the homepage of your choice, and w are not even in partnership with google, because it is not something that Mozilla did it on purpose (that we will always respect your choice to the user)

  I would try the following:

  • Sometimes, this can result in a corrupted Firefox profile. Try the procedure described in How to set preferences that will not save and let me know if it works.
  • If this fails, try an update of Firefox, Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules
  • Finally, this can be caused by malware. Try looking for malware with scanners to troubleshoot Firefox problems caused by malicious software

• How to print a web page in PDF format in Windows 7 after Firefox version 8?

  Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is incomplete PDF or progress printing stops at a certain point and Firefox is stuck. For example, the following web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln prints to PDF with Firefox Version 8, but it does not print with any version newer than 8 Firefox. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results, but also the other PDF generating tools such as 'FreePDF XP' and 'Bullzip. Also, the same web page on this same machine prints of in Internet Explorer. However using Internet explore is not a solution for our needs.

  Thank you for looking into this.

  This page print to PDF for me in 17 Firefox on Windows 7 x 64 - I tested pdfFactory Pro and PDF Creator.

  You can try to reset all the printing preferences in the case where some corruption has crept in over time. This article that describes more in detail: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages

  Could you also try to disable graphics hardware acceleration? I don't know if this affects printing at all, but just in case.

  You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

  Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced

  In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  If you restart Firefox, you will notice no difference?

  A standard Diagnostics in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Mode without failure of Firefox.

  First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

  Then restart Firefox in Mode safe (questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode) of Firefox help

  Help > restart with disabled modules

  In the dialog box, click "start mode safe."

  If you can print PDF files normally, it points to one of your extensions or custom as the problem settings.

  To also disable plugins, you can try here:

  Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > Plugins category

  Any change?
