Can I recover bookmarks after uninstalling firefox and data of a personal nature?
Someone in my household uninstalled firefox and personal data. This means that years of hard work, recording and filing of bookmarks disappeared. Is it possible to recover this data?
Really, this file has been deleted (without going through the trash). Unless you have created a backup on the local media or in the cloud, your best hope is to use software that Combs your hard drive for the fragments of files 'restore' them.
For example: http://www.piriform.com/recuva
This should be done immediately, this space will be replaced gradually, corrupting the recovered files.
When you find the list of recovered files, look for those whose name begins with "bookmarks".

How can I retreve favorite after uninstalling firefox
My husband uninstalled firefox because it crashing. In the process, it looks like all my years and years of bookmarks are gone. He has installed the latest version of firefox, which works very well. But I can not find/import old bookmarks. I didn't save them, but what I read firefox save them automatically. Please help me. I'd be lost without them. I did a system restore, but it did not help.
Thank you very much
SonjaJust uninstall and reinstall Firefox should not affect your bookmarks, unless the option "Remove data from Firefox and customizations." has been used. If so, all your Firefox personal data has been deleted and you will need to use a program like Recuva file recovery utility to recover your bookmarks.

You will need a file called places.sqlite or a JSON bookmark backup file. -
The only links that are usable are those I've had on a Yahoo toolbar on my home page IE I never deleted or changed during this process. I tried the system restore and restore to ClickFree. The Clickfree has been invested hundreds of icons on my desktop that look like they're going for here at timbuck two. Restoration of the system, said the restoration failed--repeatedly. Don't know if I have to use Recuva - I'm a bit apathetic now to try anything. Help, please. Thank you very much!
The Solution: Tools - Internet Options - tab program... and there was the option of default Web browser. He said that IE is NOT the default browser. I changed it and IT WORKED.

I'm on Firefox 17.0.11, if I uninstall Firefox and reinstall Firefox 17.0.11, I always get my original addons and bookmarks back?
IAM short of space on my hard drive, I prefer just to re - install Firefox 17.0.11
on my external hard drive, I have more than 200 GB of free space.Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
Note that there is a version of Firefox 24.1.1 ESR if you want to stay on the ESR update channel.

This error could have happened since you have installed an incompatible version of Mozilla Firefox with Kaspersky Pure. I understand that after uninstalling Mozilla Firefox from the computer you get no error message. You can contact the Support of Mozilla Firefox and check if they have a compatible version of Mozilla Firefox with Kaspersky Pure.

After you have installed SP1 Firefox stop working and Internet Explorer stop working. I can only use Chrome as browser at the moment.
See:
One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

For the last two weeks or more, firefox kept freezing, but he would always set in a minute or two. I did a scan of the computer and everything was clean and I have reduced the number of tabs, I had opened to try and speed up things, but even when I haven't had that one tab open, it would freeze. Today it froze and did not himself set even after 5 hours, and after that ive restarted my laptop. A message keeps popping up on 'a script has stopped working' and everything I press made no change (stop script or continue). Im trying to uninstall and reinstall firefox, but I can't uninstall it until the program is closed. But I can't close because it is completely frozen. How can I fix?
Thank you in advcance.
Usually, uninstalling and reinstalling is useful if the program files are damaged. When the question if an add-on or setting, so you don't expect to see a change. (I assume that you delete all your personal data, because that could blow your bookmarks.)
If this started after you installed Firefox 27, want to test you if Firefox 26 still works well? This article has a link to download the installer of Firefox 26 (you have to visit to get the link using Firefox 27): install an older version of Firefox.

I want to uninstall firefox and reinstall it with any of the pre-loaded bookmarks
What it says on the Tin, basically. I want to reinstall Firefox as if it was the first time I installed, it has to ask me if I want to import all the bookmarks. Is this possible or do I have to manually delete all of my favorites?
You can delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and also all JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder if you want to remove all current bookmarks.
If you want to reset all data in Firefox so that you can use the Profile Manager to delete the current profile folder and all the files it contains, and to create a new profile.
A restart of Firefox keeps again some data including bookmarks, so that wouldn't work for you.You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
To make Firefox ask to import data from other browsers, you must remove the profiles.ini file, which records all present profiles, to the location of the profile of the parent folder.
You can manually import bookmarks in bookmarks (library) Manager. -

I couldn't use Firefox because it wouldn't load websites (it would just load for several minutes before giving up). I have reset and the problem persisted. As a last resort, I uninstalled Firefox to see if then put it back would solve the problem. Try reinstalling Firefox, after clicking on "Run", my computer says that Firefox is 100% downloaded, despite the fact that it has been uninstalled and is no longer on my computer. As a result, it is now impossible for me to launch Firefox. Any help?
On the main download page, you get a small "stub" for Firefox installer that needs to connect to additional files. Firewalls or other components can sometimes this fails (even if 100% doesn't look like a failure...).
Can you try to use a "full" Installer from this page - made scroll your preferred language:
