Firefox is not reading my profile restored after reinstalling Windows

I had to reinstall Windows (again!). Before that, I saved my profile on an external drive.

I followed the instructions to restore (created a new profile and copy/paste the files saved in the new profile folder) and can see all the recorded files now reside in the new profile folder, but when I run Firefox it doesn't seem to be reading them at all. None of my favorites are available at all. It still looks like a new installation.

I must have made a mistake somewhere but I can't work out what.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How did you create the new profile folder: have you used the Firefox profile manager?

If Yes:

Try to start using the new profile manager and test other profiles where it is currently set by default to that bad.

If not:

Firefox can not see this folder because of its semi-aleatoric name. If you navigate to go up a level in the profiles folder in the folder of Firefox, you should find a file called profiles.ini. If you open this file in a text editor, it is likely doesn't have the path to your migrated file. You can change the corresponding path and then restart Firefox to see if Firefox connects with the migrated file.

  • After Reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening PSD files.

    After Reinstalling windows 7 has stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what is the problem. And how to fix it. Thank you.

    Maybe these files have been corrupted. I can't say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?

    If so, it is very rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try to reinstall photoshop. Then check that these files have been opened or not. In the opposite case. Then the only solution is a special software. I would use this program http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/ on your site

    (it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will be immune to such situations. )

    Since you've reinstalled windows, you will need to re - install applications once again, you will be lucky (if you format the drive) data on your computer. You remember that location, it was in my documents? If yes it just open C:\Documents and settings and locate your old username, you will find your old desktop, Favorites and Documents.

  • How much time after reinstalling window 7 32 Home Premium it take before that receive updates?

    * Original title: update Windows 7

    How long after reinstalling window 7 32 Home Premium does it take before that receive updates.

    Should be immediately the minute that an Internet connection is detected. I would advise that you install updates Windows Update batch well. There are about 300 post SP1 updates, more if you have reinstalled the version Windows 7 RTM.

    My recommendation would be to install updates in batches, these 5 at a time, exclude the hardware/driver updates. Avoid installing a set of updates for Microsoft Windows and Office at the same time. Also, try to install the first small updates. Avoid installing things like the .NET Framework and SQL Express updates.
    Whenever you install updates (it's a chore, but it guarantees a more reliable experience). Try to start the Microsoft Office updates for programs such as (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
    Another thing, try to download the updates, and then install them. When you are prompted to restart, disconnect from the Internet and restart your computer.
    To proceed with the installation of additional updates.
    If the continuous computer to become unresponsive, try the following:

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously.  Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode.  Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers.  If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode.  Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.
    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.
  • Firefox does not open. I tried to reinstall and delete my profile and nothing has worked.

    I tried to download an extension for Firefox and after that it just stopped working, no response. I tried to re - install the browser, deleting files and profiles. Nothing has worked. I can not access the Profile Manager to be * sad face *.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, 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.

    Hello:

    Looking at your other posts it seems that you have yourself painted in a corner.

    Since there is no inheritance or the setting USB auto in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, then put it in a USB drive enclosure sata hard laptop, plug in another PC so it can be read, download the drivers there, you need and copy to you user profile on the hard drive removed.

    Chapter 5 maintenance manual provides the procedures of withdrawal and replacement for the hard drive.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03733656

    Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go.

  • Stereo does not read the Sansa Clip after firmware update

    Hello

    I upgraded to the last 2.01.35a of the previous 32.

    Before that, my channel stereo would connect to the Clip and play songs using the USB connection, I can use the remote to change songs, now with the new update of the firmware it does not read the content of the Clip.  Clip said 'Connected', but the stereo repeat me 'Reading' forever.

    I came back to the previous version and it works again.

    Is there a problem with the latest version of the firmware?

    Also, since I was in Europe, Updater I updated the European version and this limited the volume a LOT.  So I downloaded the US version is now at normal volume.  The European version is too quiet and I can't hear a thing if there is a background noise. But still, the USB connection in the stereo works with version 2.01.32 and not 2.01.35.

    any ideas?

    Thank you.

    one.

    Hello

    I tried AutoDetect, MTP and MSC and none worked.

    Now everything works well again, and I will consider the reset factory settings to change the region for other times.

  • How to clean the files of time machine restore after reinstall

    Just did a wipe and reinstall on an iMac 2011 (10.8.5) mountain running Lion.

    I don't want to do a full restore from Time Machine; I just want to take a few important files (cache profiles, e-mail, etc.). [Did the reinstall because my system was flawed and nothing else I did fix it.] [The story is here:beachball recurring in all applications in Lion, finally freezes iMac]

    When I open Time Machine on my 'new' machine and turn it on, he says he has no previous backups, but begins to make its first backup in 120 seconds. There is no option to "enter" Time Machine and recover individual files.

    I then turn off Time Machine because I'm afraid that it will make a new backup and erase / unrecoverable my previous backups.

    The drive Time Machine target exists in disk utility. A 600 + files (backups, no doubt!) and verified without errors.

    Before the clean and reinstall Time Machine worked perfectly. I have test-recovered some files and everything was good.

    How do I introduce my iMac 'new' to my old backups Time Machine?

    Thank you

    Use tmutil inheritbackup such as described by the end Pondini in his FAQ, here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html. Follow the instructions in the blue box, entitled "inherit a backup. The is short and simple but please follow carefully.

    I believe that you won't always be able to restore individual files until that Time Machine backs up new, then let him. Once this is done, you will have access to your old backups.

    Alternate procedure: since you can not keep this old backup after the restoration of the individual in any case files, you can hold a key option key while clicking the Time Machine in your Mac's menu bar. A option «Browse other backup disks...» ' will be displayed. What to choose.

  • Windows Vista. I can't restore data from backup after reinstalling windows.

    Regularly, I backed up my Dell laptop Vista hard disk independent. I just had to reinstall windows and now when I go to restore my data, I get a message saying the backup location is not available. I ran a backup on the same drive as before, but the problem remains. Even backup always lists all the backups I made before resettlement. How can I restore my data?
