Booksmarks in firefox under windows xp vs 7 completely different system?

I had worked on a windows XP system, using firefox and have no complaints until I was forced to change the system and ended up with a windows system 7 (which I hate). I normally consider myself as computer savvy pretty, but this window 7 turned everything around me and confused, so sorry if the question is stupid.

I had, on my system XP in firefox, all my favorites, stored in folders very practices that were still visible in the upper part of the browser as well as my menus. They were heavily used in this way. I backed up my profile and book marks before the switch.

I went through the steps to copy my old bookmark file to my new. Looks like stuff story came, but I can't view the bookmarks. The functionality of the different bookmarks under xp is vs windows 7? Do they work differently, how can I restore to see my various files with bookmarks.

Thank you in advance.

Makes you backup bookmarks in Firefox or you made backup files in the Firefox profile folder?

If you export bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file, then make sure that this file has a .html file extension.

What files and folders you have copy (backup) of the former Computer Configuration Windows XP?

XP:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Open Directory)

  • IE is slow, hangs in Google, will run Firefox under Windows 7 with speed and security?

    I'm not very tech savy English so good please. I have a desktop Dell Studio with Intel 2 Quad Processer. I have used IE for 15 years and more. Started using Google Chrome for speed and better security about 6 months without any problem. Shortly after the beginning of the year Chrome started crashing every day and from 1/14 he broke the 10-12 times a day. I don't like losing stuff and having to stop, re - load, raise or re-store that Chrome was more than that was working properly.

    Will Firefox work in my system operating system. I loan on your security, password protection and other things that are touted on your website on Firefox, but I'm mostly concerned about accidents and what are the causes. Is the problem in my own system and not questions of brower?

    I just want to surf, read, watch you tube, facebook with friends and family. I am 65 years old and retired, and I'm really disguested with all the problems I encounter.

    I think Firefox is a good product, but I need answers to the questions I asked.

    We hope to hear from someone very soon on the issues that I raised. If I download Firefox, should I uninstall IE. I already have an installed Chrome =.

  • Which is better to have several user accounts from window for the same person, so having much Firefoxes or have much Firefoxes under a Windows account user?

    Right now I have about 6 window user accounts (just for me on a single computer) because I didn't know I could put more Firefox then one per account. I leave the tabs upward when I close Firefox, because if I just bookmarks I won't finish my work I was doing with these sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under a user account. That would make my computer fast or not, it matter if I put all my Firefoxes on a window user account or have 6 windows user accounts, each with their own Firefox?
    -Thank you

    It is more work to move to a different Windows account and then open another instance of Firefox with a different profile.
    If you only use other windows accounts for the use of Firefox like this and not for any other purpose, then there is nothing against the passage to a single Windows account to make it easier to manage such things as the backup of your personal data or copy data between the other profiles.

    So, it's up to you if you want to switch to a single Windows account.

    Hi vijaysampath, please make sure first that the date, time, and time zone are set correctly on your system. If this does not solve the problem (or it is already set correctly), a possible solution depends on different factors:

    • What is the error code indicated under Technical Details on the error page?

    in case the error code is equal to sec_error_unknown_issuer, please try to add an exception on the bottom of the error page to verify the certificate, as shown on the attached screenshot:

    Please take these two pieces of information. Thank you!

  • Firefox redirects Windows 10 "Hey Cortana" search

    I use Firefox on Windows 10 42.0. The operating system correctly recognize Firefox as my default browser and uses the search engine by default for most of the research of Cortana, but all initiated with "Hey Cortana" voice command are performed via Bing instead of my default search engine (no matter what it is defined on). This does not affect searches typed in Cortana or voice searches after clicking on the microphone icon in Cortana.

    I tried to restart Firefox in Safe Mode and refreshing to the profile nothing helps. I checked the option "Use this search for Windows search engine" is checked and that the "browser.search.redirectWindowsSearch" on: config option is set to True (as well as manually activating / disabling the option of two places).

    The setting worked at the first time in 40 of Firefox, but stopped some time ago.

    Could you... Take the exact URL of your search results "Hey Cortana" page?

    Windows adds different settings for different types of research generated by the system and Firefox changes the site search for adults that it is coded in order to manage, all the others just pass through unchanged. Currently, Firefox search form = or FORM = these:

    • WNSGPH
    • WNSBOX
    • WNSFC2

  • Firefox on windows 8.1 is AutoFill password field when autocomplete is disabled.

    Hello.

    Firefox (latest version) for windows is auto-fill a password field, even with AutoComplete is turned off.

    The HTML code for the fields are:

    < input name = seized semiautomatic "member_password1" = "off" type = "password" >


    < input name = seized semiautomatic "member_password2" = "off" type = "password" >


    Leave the empty password to automatically generate a password

    In all other browsers, it works very well, and the saved password is not added, but Firefox on Windows 8.1 it is be populated automatically, with the registered user password.

    Thanks - I'll see what I can find. Almost a shame Mozilla simply ignores these fields well.

    Such is life!

  • Problems on Firefox for Windows 10

    Computer details:
    Technical preview generator Windows 10 build 10074
    GPU drivers: 14,12 official latest drivers AMD (NOT of DRIVERS BETA WINDOWS)
    Firefox version: 38.0.1
    Build ID: 20150513174244

    The problem is one that can be seen in the attached screenshot. I showed the finger every place in the bookmarks toolbar and especially where the icons disappear randomly. This also applies to most of the icons/images in the page. This happens especially when CTRL + TAB / ALT + TAB in Facebook, but as has happened in some other sites.

    This happened in the same build of Windows with the previous (I think as 38.0.0) version of Firefox. Windows has been reinstalled and it kept happening. Tried to disable all add-ins and I tried to start Firefox in safe mode, nothing has helped at all.
    Attached to the troubleshooting information in case this help.

    Now, Firefox is UNUSABLE due to constant crashes and glitches of visualization, all part of the same program.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.
