Bookmarks, missing since the installation of Firefox 8!

Firefox automatically updated to 8 from one day to the next and now my favorites have totally disappeared. I searched the computer carefully and that you can not find them anywhere. Any suggestions?

Hi, tried different steps as recommended on the web/FAQ site etc, but nothing. All my settings (such as log ins, saved passwords, etc.) also disappeared. However, I could recover my favorites, by pure luck I think.

During the process, I noticed that the bookmarks were stored in what is called a JSON file. (The single file appears to be saved was the empty one created by the newly installed 8 Firefox, which was unnecessary). So I did a search for a JSON file on my computer and found the files in

C:\Users\Laurie\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start demarrer\programmes\accessoires\outils Tools\Profiles\izyq35gr.default\bookmarkbackups and managed to reload!

But the files have been saved in any normal place and install Firefox 8 caused a lot of problems, lost data and time.

See you soon,.
Laurie

  • Since the installation of Firefox, I can no longer post to a group of goole - even after clearing cache / cookies as suggested

    I can connect to the uk d-i-y group, but when I try a post an error message / try the message later. After clearing the cache / cookies as Google indicates that the message is that the application needs updating - refresh page. Tried to re-Assembly of the group but no change.

    Sorry for the delay in my response.

    I know that certain features of Google are not compatible with other browsers, but those who are for the most of the features of Gmail and Google Drive. You should always be able to access your Google Group.

    There is the chance that an add-on or plugin installed in Firefox is the origin of the problem. To learn, you can try the Mode without failure of Firefox.

    Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    (If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode 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)

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.

    The report please come back shortly.

  • Since the installation of Firefox 18.0 I can no longer edit text correctly in Facebook or Word Press. After entering text, I can no longer change it.

    When I go to Facebook and try to put a new message on my wall, I find that now I can't go to any text that was entered and make corrections to him (before posting). When I place my cursor in the place that I want to change and start typing, the computer emits just to me. I don't have this problem when using Safari. When I go to WordPress and try to post an update on my blog, once again, I find that I can't edit the text once it has been entered. The system sounds right to me. It seems as if 'focus' is has not been correctly associated my mouse in the place of the text window that I'm trying to change.

    My modules, however, seem to be installed and working, but I cannot, install or uninstall or configure them.

    Try to force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed modules.

    1. Open the profile folder for more details on how to access see article profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data .
    2. Closing Firefox, then delete extensions.sqlite (you can also delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf if they exist)

    When you restart Firefox must be rebuilt on the list of installed modules.

    If this does not work, you can have an add-on that is causing the problem, try the options in article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    If you type Subject: addons in the address bar that brings to the top of the list of modules? I saw a list of empty modules if Mr Tech Toolkit is installed, accessing the Manager add-on by typing about: addons in the address bar is a workaround with this add-on installed. The author of this add-on is working on an update.

  • Since the installation of Firefox 5 the page (like a mouse wheel) scroll buttons don't work anymore. I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5720 Windows Vista. Help, please!

  • Since the installation of Firefox 5, I can no longer access the 'messages' Facebook pages. Any ideas?

    Everything works like before Facebook, but when I go to the "messages" option, the messages are not displayed (but works fine in Explorer).

    I haven't added the new plug-ins or add-ons.

    Everything worked without problem, before I've upgraded to Firefox 5. Other Firefox users, I contacted do not seem to have this problem, so I guess that's maybe a setting, although I made no change.

    The problem seems to have resolved itself on my end, so I think the problem was in the stage of Facebook after all.

    I noticed there is a day that refine Ghostery (anti-complement web monitoring) that the release of certain elements would make the messages section should upward. This does not explain why it suddenly worked fine today (I've changed my settings back to how they were before the problems started), but if you have any kind of add-on or ad-blocking program, it's worth a shot.

  • Impossible to get Windows Vista Mail to work since the installation of FireFox

    In recent weeks, been unable to access the Internet or use any messaging service using IE8. Internet Explorer opens not - except in safe mode with network. I spent several hours to solve this problem without success. Then as a last resort, I downloaded and installed Firefox and in normal mode the page Firefox came and I have full access to the Internet and Microsoft Hotmail - however I can't get Windows Vista Mail to work.

    WMUtil is very easy to perform and can fix things.  Especially if you got rid of McAfee.  You may still need to remove your e-mail account and then add again, but it's also easy to do.

    Many people find Thunderbird much more preferable to alternatives to Microsoft.

  • Missing since the installation of Acrobat 9 text

    Hi all

    I am running Windows XP with SP2. I recently installed the Adobe Tech Comm Suite 2, which includes Acrobat 9. Now I can't print from Frame (7.2 or 9.0) or Acrobat without losing the text in my files. Text falls at random, without any apparent reason. Has anyone else seen elsewhere? Is there a solution that does not save each individual file in a book as a MIF, then in PDF format? I have a team member who has had success with this, but it's much too much time for my staff trying to fill huge books in a very short time. I look forward to any idea you may have.

  • Since its installation in Firefox 20.0.1. There is a box in the center of my screen titled progress install with a bar running below the Green progression.

    Please help this driving me Mad
    Since the installation of Firefox 20.0.1. on my MS Windows 7 Toshiba Laptop there was a box in the center of my screen titled "progress install < with a bar running below green growth."
    Firefox 20.0.1 (FF) works very well and I can drag the box of progress on my screen to my heart's content. Although there no small cross at the top right I can get rid of him by my mouse over the icon (ff), pinned to taskbar program in hover. This gives me a box of progress of installation with small cross, click and his party. That is until I got close and restart (ff) and back it comes in the middle of the screen. I tried to get rid of it through CTRL-ALT-DEL Task Manager, but even once, it reappears on start up (FF) I also stripped (ff) of my machine, once using widows uninstall/change of MS program features and for the second time by using third-party software as soon as I reinstall (ff) new same old problem.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Since the installation of update of firefox I have more a padlock displayed when on secure sites. Is it still OK?

    Since the installation of update of Firefox today, 11/11/2011, when incoming secure web sites I no longer have the display of a padlock. I still have Https. I wonder if the security of these barns is still OK.

    The status bar is gone and the 'blocking' with it from Firefox 4.0. Safety information on a web page are shown by the Site identity button.

    The former lock could give users a false sense that a site is safe to not to provide information to the site and showed that there is a secure connection that does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site identity button is introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete information of 'identity' for HTTPS web pages.
