Had to reload operating system and applications data, now can't get firefox to recognize the profile data
My C drive (disk solid state drive), which held my operating system and data from the app crashed. I had it replaced, updated Win 7 to win 10 and have downloaded Firefox. I was able to restore my profile from a Mozy backup data and copied in the Firefox folder. But Firefox resolutely refuses to recognize. I tried using the recovery data from an old profile, but no advantage help page. Tried to use the Manager profile, but without success. When I go to Troubleshooting Information and click on file/Show profile, it comes up with a list of files (files starting with bookmarkbackups, which however is empty, down for webapps, which has the file inside webapps.json), then the files from addons.json down through xulstore.json and the file places.sqlite is 10 240 KB Although there is something in there, but Firefox resolutely refuses to acknowledge my profile, bookmarks, etc..
I'm out of options and ripping my hair out trying to get all my favorites, in which I have a lot of information such as the authentication of data for many favorite sites. It is frustrating that all the information seems to be there, but Firefox ignore all.
Can anyone help?
Such a backup is perhaps a ZIP archive containing all the files into it if it is not a real file, but only one file.
Note is that you replace the file places.sqlite with a copy of the backup that you have to make sure to remove existing places.sqlite - shm and temporary files to SQLite places.sqlite - wal.
Ditto for the other SQLite files that you are restoring.
Have you checked the application.ini file in the backup?

Hello, I have an SSD SATA3 with OS and applications on them and 2 HDD SATA2, one for the footages/projects and the other for renders / archive.
I think putting the drive/media in the SSD cache should boost performance because of the speed, but I've heard that it can shorten the life of the drive, even though I'm not sure how much.
I guess I could buy an another SSD dedicated for the disk cache, but I'd rather not if they are put on the same drive with OS and applications will be not too much problem.
Go ahead and put your caches on the SSD even as your operating system and applications.
Most of the concerns on the repeated Scriptures SSD causing failure are older versions of the technology. Reliability is improved greatly now. Also, has not lost much if your SSD fails, and it doesn't have your applications, OS and caches on this, since you can reinstall your operating system and applications fairly easily.
You never want to have your irreplaceable possessions (as the only copy of your images) on a disc that you're afraid to fail.

I have reset the settings of cookies on my Mac and now can't get firefox to open at all.
I deleted the old Firefox and reinstalled because I couldn't open to change settings. I had it not to accept cookies. I tried to click on setting for the default for Firefox when this box comes up, but it just hangs there and does not open. I shut my computer down and restarted. I have a Mac desk top which is a new model.
Firefox will display in high but just hanging guard and I can't go in any of the headings to change the settings. I hope that somehow if I can get it is going to my favorites will be saved. Thank you, Cory
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

People,
Hello. I use VMPlayer to install virtual machines a few OS in my laptop.
Because my laptop's hard drive space is not enough to create a VM more to install Oracle Linux and its Application, can I just create a virtual machine in my laptop and then install Oracle Linux and its Application in an external USB disk?
You can create and save the Virtual Machine in any place that you have read & write access to and enough space to support what is being installed.

How can I get Firefox to load the font "Symbol" and "Wingdings"?
My 8.0.1 version doesn't have a 'symbol' or the fonts 'Wingdings' listed and when I visited my html document these characters end up using the Arial font. I have the documents with a lot of less-than-and-equal, more-than-and-equal and a crowd of other symbols, and wingdings characters. IE9 works very well. Chrome has the same problem that Firefox has.
You have not been able to do in Firefox since Firefox 2, and even in this case, you may need to change Firefox, so while you might change your Firefox would not very many Firefox users who could use them.
All the browser support unicode, but all the unicode fonts are not the same size and no machine each of them will not in all fonts. If they are your own documents, you will need to convert yourself. Most of what you need, you can probably obtain directly from this page

I get a message saying "you have exceeded your profile storage space. Yet all the files listed th are actually my docs and application data. How to delete my profile, but not from my pc? increase the max profile size
1. the first thing to do is to make sure that the computer is completely virus/malware-free. Googling around this error produced quite a few links where the posters were or had been infected with Spyware Protect 2009 rogue.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
Once the scanning is complete (do not skip the preparatory stages no more), if the problem persists:
2. double-click on my computer, right-click the icon for your hard drive, click left to get its properties. If you see options to set Quota management make sure that they are disabled.
3. in the case - BUT ONLY AFTER YOU ARE sure THAT THE MACHINE IS MALWARE/VIRUS-FREE - copy the lines between asterisks (not including the asterisks) below and paste it into Notepad. Save as undopolicy.reg somewhere, you will find. And then double-click the .reg file, that you have just made to melt in your registry. I hope that this will take care of the issue.

Hello
I want a clean reinstall on my HP Mini 210. How can I reinstall the operating system and drivers only from the recovery partition? I don't want any other software and tools HP...
P.S. I've done a reinstall from the recovery partition and then spend many hours, removal of unwanted and tools software, but traces of these programs remain anywhere in the registry, the Program Files folder...
Here are the specifications of your computer of HP Mini 210-1077CA. According to the specification, this model comes with Windows 7 Starter, which is installed at the factory.
Please see "Recovery discs to create or save an Image to a USB (Windows 7) recovery" for instructions on creating recovery media. See also "Using System Recovery, Factory Reset and Minimized Image Recovery Options" to determine if your computer supports the "recovery Image reduced" and how to perform this recovery option, if it supports.
Reduced Image recovery does the following:
Reinstall the original operating system.
Re-installs all the drivers of original material.
Reinstall the HP essential software (e.g., HP Support Assistant, HP Recovery Manager, etc.).
Don't install applications for testing or trial games.Please click the White Star of KUDOS to show your appreciation

Wanting to repair Vista, but it tells me I need to completely reload operating system
Original title: I used the installation files Vista with SP 2 saved in the hard disk has chosen upgrade to repair the Vista operating system, but he said he must need get changes in the original Vista.
I'm sorry that I'm Chinese so my English is bad, but I need help more then I called you support MS USA team, thank you for your understanding.
How to solve the problem? I wish always chosen to repair the operating system upgrade, I still don't want to format.
Does, because who chose the update to fix the BONES need to boot from the CD-ROM, if using them installation files saved in the hard drive just cannot achieve the goal who upgrade to repair the operating system? So I need to make a DVD to reach the destination of the operating system repair? Is he must need I have to set the BIOS to boot from the CD? Before, if I used the Vista without SP installation disc choose update to fix the OS I must set the CD-ROM starts.
During the processing of the repair, I went out for a meal, is it possible to happen chosed Yes or no auto chosed system choices but wrong then that repair cannot be reached? No error code.
And I still want to get the answer quite right, if you are not sure, please don't talk. Thanks again for your understanding.
I read all this other question because it is in both languages
Facts:
1. you bought a Dell computer, apparently with no operating system
2. you have a Microsoft DVD of Vista that you used to install the operating system.
3. you have downloaded an ISO file and unpacked. Burn you an ISO to a DVD file.
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
4. you cannot uninstall the Service Pack.
If you cannot uninstall the Service Pack, you can not do a repair install with your Microsoft Vista DVD that you used initially.
Back up your data > reinstall Vista > reinstall your programs left 3rd and copy your data to the new operating system.
See you soon.

no operating system and no installation disc!
I replaced the hard drive in my HP Pavilion Entertainment notebook (dv6700) with a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB hard SATA drive. When I start my computer of course he says that I have no operating system! I have also no installation disc with my operating system on it! WHAT can I do? Well, I have my windows vista product key.
Replace you a hard drive "perimeter". In other words is there a hard drive Western Digital Blue SATA 500 in the machine originally?
Have you bought a copy of windows or the PC manufacturer have previously installed it next?
If the answer to my first question is not the PC had no originally a hard drive Western Digital SATA 500 installed and the copy of Windows was pre-installed, so you use not "perimeter" material and therefore can not re - install your copy of Windows OEM.
The problem is that the OEM (preinstalled windows) license can only be used on this machine especially with a particular set of hardware. If you change the material, the license is assigned. Most PC manufacturers will replace like with like as things like hard disk, card mother etc. will report the windows activation.
If you have purchased a copy of the box retail of Windows and you lost the disk but have the original receipt, you can contact Microsoft for a replacement. See this link: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_replace_a_lost.htm the link refers to Windows XP, but it is the same for Vista and Windows 7.
If none of the above apply, then you can buy a copy of Windows.
The PC manufacturer, you can try, but they do, inevitably, charge you a copy of Windows in any case.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
