did terrible things. now, I can only find my bookmarks.htm file. Can I restore my favorites of that?

Make a huge mess of things but long story short, I agree with a cloud-based backup service and yet all I can't seem to find my favorites .htm file (the file contains only bookmarks in AFTER that I cleverly eliminated my HDD, which is useless for me).

All of your important Firefox data is (was) stored under this path:

\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\ProfilesusernameC:\Users\

A chance that was included in your backup?

    Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.  When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved.   Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.

    Hi there, alicefrompa!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!

    You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left.  When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.

    From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.

    If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.

    1. Press command + O on your keyboard.
    2. Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
    3. Restart your Mac by selecting the menu  Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.

    See you soon!

  • Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my favorites?

    All my favorites have disappeared on both machines. I tried to use the restore function it wasn't working, and I tried to update my Plugins and for some reason any Firefox would not record updates. How can I restore my favorites?

    Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

  • Have only json bkmks prev FF 29 install, but now, how can I restore it as html? (Cannot find it in any menu FF.)

    I had to reinstall win 7 a few days ago. The old installation is Win.OLD. After installation in the new configuration for FF29, I tried to simply move the file bkmks of html into the Win.OLD file on the new system, but somehow, it was just another copy of what was on the brand new facility of and seq. Looking deeper, I was able to find old favorites in a json file in a folder bookmarksbackup buried in AppData and could tell from the date and the size it was in fact the old bkmks, saved from the eve of the new facility.

    I tried to find something here telling me how to 'restore' the json to html file, but everything that I could find that was bound, said only to "restore" the json file, but without any detail... so how do I do this? One answer given directions by using the menu of Firefox and using a restore feature, but what I have is the file/Edit/View/history/bookmarks/tools/help menu and the 'customize' page and it of functions, but cannot find anything on the restore/export/backup bookmarks. Am I missing a menu? Thank you!!

  • I installed windows 8 and can not find all my favorites etc. I tried to reset, but it did not help. How can I restore my old info?

    I tried to find my old firefox database files on explorer 7, but the old files I tried came because can not open or cannot be found. I tried the suggestions of mozilla help on what files contain the news but got the same results. I have reset but it did give me a few new things I've done since the installation of windows 8.

    Hello, have you installed windows 8, more an another operating system on a single computer and you have any form of prior backup available?
    one thing you might try is to search the whole file system (make sure to include also hidden sites) for the term bookmarks*.json - if all results appear with a date in the file name that is before installing windows, then you probably import them into your firefox profile.

  • My iphone screen 5 fell, and now I can't restore it because it requires a password

    I recently acquired an iphone 5 from a friend, he told me I could have for free (it's understandable then.) only because it has been broken into pieces, with missing pieces and the screen cannot be correctly mounted, in any case, I get the phone, screen works fine, no problem, a month passes by and after the infamous green lines square white and black holes forming on screen, my screen decides to die, my friend told me he only let him down, which I'm slowly starting to do not believe rather that he threw it and hard, now only appears a blank black screen.

    in any case, what I was wondering is, how am I to access my phone with all my personal data on it? I can not restore because it requires the phone to be unlocked, which of course, I can't do. can anyone help?

    Did you choose to back up your device to iCloud via Wi - Fi?

    If the WiFi is enabled on the phone, connect to the adapter and wait the phone save automatically on iCloud. After your personal data and settings must be saved to iCloud, and you can clear the device by connecting to your iCloud computer account, select your device in "find my iPhone".  Tap 'Clear' and disable ' find my iPhone ' after that your phone has been erased.

    After that, you should be able to restore the phone without the password lock screen.

    Please check to make sure that both phones are running iOS 9.3.2 and iTunes on the computer is 12.4. Make a new backup of the 5 c to iTunes, and then try to restore on the 6s.

  • Can I restore my favorites if they were saved to the same profile on another computer?

    Then my mother one of our computers restored without telling me or backup of one of my favorites. If I signed in the same profile of Mozilla on my computer that I've been on one that was wiped out, my favorites are in the places.sqlite file? If they are, how can I access and restore my bookmarks in Firefox?

    I have also two old files .json I tried repeatedly to import into Firefox by using the function "restore" and installed Friefox 27 to try to use my key to recovery without result. Can someone recommend a method of restoring my favorites that I have not yet tried, or tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Hello HOK CHHEANGUNG.

    Looks like you dΘmarrez not yet to the point where you can choose to enter the BIOS.

    I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your hardware on this.

    Also, I recommend you create a new thread for this case because there will be subtle differences between your question and the one mentioned in this thread.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Best regards

  • Updated my iPad off in recovery mode, now I can't restore

    I turned off my computer so I connected to iTunes. He gave me the warning saying that it cannot connect to it until I unlock it, but of course, I just forgot my password (and I remember now but it's too late). Then I put in recovery mode and update. After the update that it started at a black screen saying "iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes," but the thing is that I can not. Whenever I have connect my computer, iTunes gives me just the normal warning of him being disabled, but nothing else. He brings me to the screen where it asks me to put up-to-date or to recover more. What can I do? Thank you!

    BTW I've never synced with iTunes on my computer.

    You are forcing the iPad into recovery mode as described here?

    If you are unable to update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple supports

    If that's what you do, try several times. Sometimes it take several tries.

  • I can't restore my favorites that I backed up, because they seem to be of type 'file' instead of 'JSON '.

    I backed up my favorites until I have re-formatted my computer. I used Firefox backup tool. On the registration screen, the only thing I remember was the name of the file, but everything I've done done him be saved to one type other than the "JSON" files that Firefox recognizes. Thus, the file is not recognized when I try to restore it using restore Firefox bookmarks. In properties, it is simply called a type 'file', not 'JSON '. I can't open it with Firefox, only Microsoft Word (I think). All the data seem to be there as a long string of info that contain the links among many other data. Very complicated format. Is there a way to convert this to a JSON file that recognizes the Firefox in order to restore the bookmarks? Thanks much for any help.

    View this file in a simple text editor, if this file begins by {"title": "","id": 1, "dateAdded": -simply change the suffix of jsonfile.}

  • How can I restore my favorites?

    Today, when I went on Mozilla, all my favorites were still there, but all my browser history had disappeared, so I tried to fix this. I had added the add-on "FEBE" and tried the backups for the restoration of history. Now, all my favorites are gone, but when I go to my profile to Mozilla, the "bookmarkbackups" folder and the files that it contained are still there.

    In addition, the forum software detected your Firefox version 37. Is this correct?

    Version 37 is not safe; Mozilla reveals security flaws after each new version. Is something holding you upgrade to Firefox 40 (released today)? Please let us know if we can offer you solutions or workarounds.

    If help > about Firefox shows 40,0 Firefox, you may need to disable the preference that is misrepresentation of your version number. See: sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.
