Favorite html files seem to be missing

I recently had a problem with my last computer where it stopped turning on. I have determined that the best course of action was to buy a new computer.

My old computer was working Firefox 15.0.1 on Windows XP. My new computer has a new download of Firefox to the latest version of 16.0.2 on Windows 7.

I saved the hard drive of my computer that I managed to make a backup of all my files except I forgot to make my favorites of internet explore and Firefox.

My new computer came today, and I joined the old hard drive to my new computer assuming my favorites would continue to have access to this hard drive and I could move just them to my computer.

However, after a little poking around in the Firefox program files I came across a document entitled the deleted files. I opened as a Microsoft Word document and looked up the word ' bookmark * "in the file.

I came across some disturbing evidence which seems to me my favorites have been arbitrarily removed my old hard disk Firefox program files, because I fell on 3 files with the word bookmark in this document:

Components/bookmarks. XPT
defaults/Profile/bookmarks.html
modules/services-Sync/Engines/bookmarks.js

So my question is, do I have any hope of recovery of my old favorites? Or they are lost forever? I was probably close to 100, so it would obviously be a lot of your time to manually add them all back.

Any help anyone could provide would be most useful help.

Firefox stores your personal data in the Firefox profile folder.

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

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. do you remember the exact and complete message on this line?

    Check if you can find the user original files of accounts in the following path:

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

    Can anyone help?

    Are you looking for your C:\Users folder? According to the report here.

    Open the C: drive. In the top bar, click on organize and then Folder Options. In the Folder Options, click view.

  • Index.html file missing when I download Iweb site to go Daddy

    So, I built a website using Iweb.

    I downloaded on Godaddy using Fetch.

    The files are all there in the correct folder, but the site does not open.

    When the support of Go Daddy looked at the files, they said that the problem is the index.html file is missing.

    It is a compressed, file index.html.gz, but they are not familiar with it and this isn't in the right format to use.

    If someone else has had this problem and you know the solution? I tried to launch my site for 48 hours now.

    Support said that everything seems to be fine.

    Thank you

    It all depends on how you have downloaded from the site?

    Have you downloaded your site folder or just the contents of the folder of your site?  If you have downloaded the site folder, then you need 2 files to index - an index.html file will be inside the site folder and the other will be sitting outside pointing in.

    If you have just downloaded the content in your folder Public_html on GoDaddy, then you need an index.html file and that it is.

    Don't know how you got index.html.gz.  What you need is one or two files index.html and that's all.

    Republish your site new to iWeb to a local folder and check the files that have been produced and if the index.html file is there.  It should be, but there should be no zipped or other, just one or two files with index.html.

    They must be there.

    This is the first site you've built?  If so, why choose iWeb?  Not sure that this is an unsupported product that has not been updated for at least 6 years now?

    Remember to move on and using supported software.

  • Can I save my favorites as html file android phone?

    Is there a way to "Save" my favorites on my Android phone.
    I want to be able to read, as you can with the desktop version, visible as a html file.

    I have * not * want to sync with my laptop.

    Thank you.

    As far as I know, it is not an easy process. As far as I know, there is not a direct approach. If you think that you are an advanced user, it can apply these:

    • First you have to find the browser.db, with the help of a powerful as Es File explore File Explorer or Z-archiver
    • The path of the file is / device / data / data / org.mozilla.firefox / files / mozilla / default
    • Then, download free SQLite Database Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) for your laptop
    • Open browser.db with the app and export "bookmarks" table in an Excel table
    • You have a slight change in Excel and create. HTML file
    • Then, you can get your desired result!
  • Firefox will not export all my favorites to an HTML file.

    When I export my bookmarks to an HTML file, some of them are missing when I open the file. Is Firefox displays only not all correctly, or is there a limit of bookmark that I missed? I have about 3 734 bookmarks. I know it's a lot, but I still want to know if there is a way to adapt to each of them in a HTML file without having to delete everything.

    Also, these bookmarks are missing if you check the HTML code in an appropriate editor?

    You can consult the database places.sqlite with this extension:

  • I can't have my favorites of IE 8 bookmarks Firefox (ver.25.0.1) even after export IE fav. html file and then import via the bookmark manager!

    using professional XP, hundreds of favorites in IE 8. I can't their in Firefox, either directly by the Bookmark Manager (show all bookmarks/importing data and backup/import from another browser OR exporting favorites in IE 8 to an html (fact) file and then get back Firefox Bookmarks and using bookmarks/show all bookmarks bookmarks-import and backup/import html file.) I find the file, double click on open, BUT nothing happens in the bookmarks library?

    It is not one case about others come more - nothing happens?

    Have you tried a search in bookmarks (library) Manager since some know bookmarks?

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

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Can not find the Favorites of IE in bookmarks by using "import an another database" or "import html file." Default profile only in use. First time using Firefox

    HTML file (also tried htm) is exportd by IE 9 and can be opened. When imported by Firefox, it can be seen in the unsorted bookmarks bookmarks library or view all of the bookmarks.
    All read that the properties have been removed from the favorite files.
    Firefox displays a profile in APPSDATA.
    This is the first time I used Firefox and wish away IE. Can you help me please? Thank you.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Hello, I just reinstalled Firefox 8.0 and imported my backup bookmarks.html file, but the bookmarks toolbar has not changed with my old favorites. Is this a problem or I have to manually add each bookmark again?

    don't know what details to tell you, that all important data are written in the question. Thank you.

    You have now two folders of Bookmarks Toolbar. One of the installation of Firefox (the main one) and a 2nd file to import a bookmarks.html file.

    Find the Bookmarks Toolbar folder that is under the bookmarks Menu folder and copy or drag ' drop these bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder that is above the bookmarks Menu folder.
