Firefox Sync does not make my favorites my new laptop, how can I get back them?
I'm not a tech savvy individual, but I created an account to sync Mozilla December 2013 when my old of the the laptop out crapped and I received a laptop "new to me" and did not want to lose my favorites in the future. Now I have a new computer laptop (March 2015) and I added Firefox as my browser, connected on my sync account and there was no evidence of my old laptop. What I have done wrong and what should I do to recover my favorites? In addition, access the old laptop is a problem, because it will not hold the load/no power up - so why I finally broke down and bought a new.
Hi, since you have difficulties, an easy way to move your bookmarks is, on your old PC - connect a USB flash drive, and then open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > export bookmarks as HTML, and then navigate to your flash drive and save them on it.
Now plug the flash drive on your new PC and open bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import bookmarks in HTML, then navigate to your USB drive and import them.
Hope that will help you.

Have to remind all bookmarks
Hello
Sorry to hear about this. First of all, Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be useful if your bookmarks are lost or missing.
- Click the Bookmarks button
(or
(> Favorites), select show all bookmarks.
- At the top of the library window, click on import and backup , and then select restore.
- Click on the date of the backup of bookmarks you want to recover.
- In the new window that appears, click OK.
- Your bookmarks in the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer . For alternatives, see the article of recover lost or missing bookmarks .
If the above does not work, it could be that a file has been corrupted (namely the places.sqlite file). You can install the extension of Maintenance of places to run maintenance on the file.

How can I return my thumbnails in my photo folder.
I recently installed "FlashFire for Vista", which caused a few problems, i.e. it erased my System Restore Points and it made my system slow so I uninstalled.
After that, I noticed that I could not see one of my thumb nails in any folder. I tried several things to get, but without success.
Anyone knows a solution, please?
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck the "Always show icons never thumbnails -." Click OK and exit. You may eed to restart (although I don't know - even if I do not). That should take care of the problem.
I hope this helps.

I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.
I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.
I hope someone can help.
Hi willy of San Jacinto.
I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.
Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:
OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work
If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

Yesterday, I followed a prompt to update Firefox, my screen has changes, before I could click a left upper tab for bookmarks, now it comes from the top to the right via a button. Can I go back to the previous layout?

I also seem to have lost all my contacts from flickr (not sure if this is related).
Thank you.
Yes, I made an update of Firefox when prompted and Yes... I have the old data of Firefox on the desktop folder, if we need save files.
Menu Bar - now recovered thanks.

I right click a picture on Facebook, to delete a photo, there was a message from Firefox, I said 'Yes' and all THE photos of friends disappeared, not only that I clicked. I don't know how to restore them. They are obvious when you use another browser is unique to Firefox.
It is possible that you do not recognize the server that Facebook uses to store images.
Another way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar and click the button "additional information".
This will open the Security tab of the window of the Information Page (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
Go to the Media of this Page Info window tab.
Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.
If a link to the image is gray and there is a check mark in the box of block Images of... just above the area 'Preview Media' can remove this mark to unlock the images from this area. -

My notes "on my phone" disappeared. How can I get back them?
Recently, I synced my yahoo email account on my gmail account. It seems that had an impact on my Notes app on my iphone 5s. All my notes (on my phone) has disappeared and now it shows when I click on the icon of the application Notes is a title that said records, then a list that says Gmail (4), Yahoo (0) and on my phone (0). How to recover after my notes from phone? Previously, when I clicked on the icon of the application Notes, I don't have a list of folders so I guess all my notes were on my phone.
This morning I have upgraded to iOS 9.3.4 having no impact on my problem. When I initially opened the Notes app, my screen said Notes on the top (no records and no records were) but when I clicked on the page of Notes, then it changed to a folder titled and listed records.

My Favorites disappeared after I chose Safe Mode, why and how can I get back them?
For some reason, a dialog box appeared when I tried to open Firefox. It never happened to me before. I had to choose Mode without failure or default. I chose Safe Mode and now all my favorites have disappeared! I don't know how to get out of this mode and none of the ways recommended to restore my bookmarks work. Help! Most of my work contacts were in the bookmarks. I'm sure that there was an update of Firefox within the last few days. I have Windows 7.
