Firefox 29.0.1 is unable to process a valid backup .json file.

After the upgrade to v29.0.1 my all my favorites have disappeared. I tried to restore automatic backups (I tried 10 different files), but every time I got an error message saying that ff could not deal with the backup file.
The files were validated with json-trainer.

I use a shared profile ubuntu 12.04 and win7.

Try to delete the places.sqlite file to see if this has the effect, in which case the file is corrupted.

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

  • "Failed to process the backup file" - bookmarks JSON file

    I deleted my appdata files without thinking and then allowed my trash. When I opened firefox again all my favorites have disappeared. I used piriform recuva to find my deleted files and recover the backup JSON files 10 bookmark. When I try to restore my bookmarks, I get the message "failed to process the backup file". "Files are 95 KB in size, but when I open them with Notepad that they are empty, however, when you use the Restore tool, it is said ' elements of 480", which I assume is the amount of bookmarks, I had, which means that firefox can see data. The same happens for all ten backups that I recovered.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    What is the name of this file?

    Firefox can only look at the file name for the number of items.

    • < number > _ < hash > .json bookmark-YYYY-MM-JJ_

    The files in the bookmarkbackups folder are currently in compressed format .jsonlz4 (i.e., they show data binary like a ZIP compressed archive) and cannot be easily unzipped for access the JSON text format.
    The files are compressed means that a single error in the file will make it impossible to unpack the file.

    Have you checked all the available JSON backup to see if everything works?

    A backup created manually JSON is always not compressed, so can be easily inspected or opened in a text editor (Notepad > "Pretty Print"), but with a compressed file, it is much more difficult.

    Recovery of a file via an undelete utility is no guarantee that the space occupied by the file has not been used by another file, and so is corrupt.

  • After updating FF 30.0 - unable to process shipments on USPS. com after connecting usps acct

    I can't connect to my usps. com account, but after update to 30.0 FF, I am unable to process a shipment. I am able to enter all the info (sender/expedition/type/date/insurance pkg shipping address) and when I try to "add to cart" - I get shots back ask my delivery date. Any address including the shipping date or delivery that I use I use or what type of package selected - I am unable to deal with the shipment. I clear my cache on a regular basis. I could process a shipment today via (gasp) Safari. I, unfortunately, stayed on the phone with USPS. com t/s, but they could not provide advice other than to empty my cache. Any ideas?

    Mac OSX 10.9.3
    FF 30.0

    UPS ships a web form that you fill out, once connected to an acct? Short in Firefox form fill data, it looks like a conflict between the site / form & Fx 30. Not unusual.

    Fx start in safemode and try w/o addons, plugins. Arranges, you'll need to create the new profile & reinstall each, a couple at a time - check the operation of the site after each.

    If safe mode does NOT correct it, I would be completely uninstall Fx Control Panel, starting with the latest version from the list, then restart, then uninstall the next most recent, etc, restarting after each uninstall.

    Remove remaining program files Fx - all records of Fx.
    Reinstall a new copy of Fx 30. Before you install, close every single thing that you can, including any AV / FW - everything. Disconnect the web during installation.

  • When I click on the account it says "iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time."

  • Problem restoring previous version of FF bookmarks, "Unable to process the file of backup.", already tried to delete "places.sqlite".

    I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 on a computer that has not been used for about a year. Before wiping the HARD drive, I saved Firefox bookmarks in the form of a .json file (I don't know what version of FF was installed on the computer before, but I know it was at least a year).

    After reinstalling Windows and install Firefox 24.0, I tried to restore the bookmarks using the "Bookmarks-> import" and backup-> restore-> Choose File... "option. I get the error says "Failed to process the backup file."

    I tried to search for this problem but I couldn't find anything precise. It sounds ridiculous because I just installed FF, I tried to delete the file "places.sqlite" based on other similar problems, but that did not fix the problem.

    My only thought is that it must be a problem with incompatible versions of FF bookmarks. Is it possible to recover bookmarks in the .json file?

    Oh my god. I removed the comma, who pointed out the error report and file and bookmarks have been restored!

    How this comma go?

  • Unable to process the command BCU

    Hello

    I'm having a problem using BCU to configure the bios for a particular model desktop - PC HP Compaq 8000 Elite USDT

    When you try to configure, I get an error message

    Msg of ERROR = "unable to process the command. Password is enabled, but no other file password is provided, but it is not valid / >
    Msg of ERROR = result "BCU return value" = "10" / >

    The password was generated using HPQPswd.exe, and I am able to configure the bios for other computers (USDT Elite 8200, 8300 Elite USDT, Probook 4520) s using the same command.

    The operating system we use is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    I suspect that the system is old enough that the BIOS does not support Unicode format of the passwords. Run the attached script as "cscript IsPasswordSet.vbs" and it should tell you.

    If this is the case, try using the BCU version 2.60.13 on the web site of Customer Management Solutions. Check the use, the parameters are different.

  • After changing a Firefox latest, my favorites have disappeared, and just "restore from backup" gives "not able to process the backup file".

    I tried the tool maintenance for places.sqlite and even delete the file so firefox it rebuilt. But no joy. New version is 36.0.1. Don't you remember an old man, but he was old enough. Five available json files, but none works

    I found my own answer.

    I copied the file favorite .json on a USB key. Led to another PC that still had an old Firefox and successfully it read. The exported as HTML and postponed retrospectively & imported.

    If someone else this problem is not lucky enough to have another PC with old Firefox, I'm willing to bet that you could just install Chrome rather & he'd willingly read.

  • Cannot restore bookmarks. "Unable to process the backup file." I tried all of the solutions that I can find online.

    I am under W7 and 14.01 FF. My FF admin account works fine. My work account has problems. In the past I was able to get the bookmarks to return but not this time.

    The favorites were there yesterday morning and disappeared in the afternoon. Nothing has changed between the AM and PM to my knowledge. I tried every solution that I could find online but still no bookmarks.

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

    You can try to check and repair the database of places with this extension:

    Also, make sure that the backup has the correct file extension (.json to restore a JSON backup).

    Only solution is umount the point of editing or the db bounce. It is because of 'SEMAPHORE '.

    Semaphores are sharable resources who take a non-negative integer value. They are manipulted by the P (waiting) and V (signal) functions that decrement and increment the semaphore, respectively. When a process needs a resource, a "waiting" is issued and the semaphore is decremented. When the semaphore contains a value of zero, the resources are not available and the calling process turns or blocks (if applicable) until resources are available. When a process opens a resource controlled by a semaphore, it increments the semaphore and the waiting process are advised.
