Had to reset, tried to cancel, lost everything

I had problems with a virus so I reset Firefox to its default values. This does not solve the problem, so I thought cancel reset and return to the settings that I got it to start. By following the instructions on how to do it, I have copy pasted everything in the "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop (which was supposed to be there due to reset right?). The only problem is that I apparently reset it before some time last year and the 'Old Firefox Data' folder on my desktop had only the data of the last year, the recent no reset. So all my favorites and extensions and settings and all are put back to the way they were last year, which means I lost EVERYTHING up here. I can't find a folder 'Old data Firefox' school which was supposed to happen with the new reset and I can't find anything with my original settings. Is there a way I can undo this? (I got a LOT of bookmarks that I'll probably never find. I NEED undo it.)

Is there only one profile to where Firefox stores the profiles?

  • C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

If you have restored all the data of a very old profile about a year ago, so I'm afraid that your data is probably missing.

If you copied your personal data on this file and then you can have backups JSON in the bookmarkbackups folder if the reset had preserved those, so you can review it to see if there are still a few.
However, it is possible that Firefox has erased those if this number has exceeded the maximum value specified in the browser.bookmarks.max_backups preference.

You can also check if Windows still has snapshots of records.

  • I lost everything, my hard drive is blank. I tried recovering files without success. How can I reinstall windows XP without the operating drive?

    My computer came with Windows XP installed and NO CD with the operating system, I haven't bought referbished system off eBay, there is no manufacturer to contact discs... help please! = ~ D not drive for the Windows XP operating system and no way to get the drive's operating. There is no way to recover my OS. Can't afford to buy a new Windows, please I need my computer to manage my eBay business! Can you give me a way to reinstall Windows XP by using my valid license key? = ~ D

    What do you mean by "I've lost everything? What have you done or what happened? Do you have valuable data on your hard drive and hear you because she is 'empty '? What is a malware problem? Or something else?

    The Ebay seller was obliged to provide you with the means to restore the PC to its original state (Yes, I'm aware that many sellers that they don't only not this rule). There may be a hidden hard disk restore partition.
    What is the brand, model and model number of your PC? Your PC came with XP Home, XP Pro or XP MCE? What level of SP (Service Pack)? Your PC has a sticker of COA on it? If so, what operating system is listed on it?
    If you use a PC to manage a business, it is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that you have a method to regularly backup all your files! I recommend to start another thread for how to do this!

  • I lost everything I worked on when prefs.js has replaced itself.

    I had a problem of deletion of an entry in the prefs.js file. He kept rewriting itself to what it had been before I removed it. So I renamed to see if she could get recreated entirely. He did get recreated, but it wasn't the same more. It was completely different. So I renamed my copy to the name of the original file. When I opened Firefox, he writes about himself again with the completely different copy. I have now lost all my themes. My module SessionManager completely disappeared and all my session information. All the tabs I had open disappeared and I don't know what they were. I reinstalled SessionManager, but no sessions are found, not even those that I had saved.

    Can I recover my sessions and themes? I can restore the old file prefs.js to the way it was.

    I was so angry that I left. I went shopping. When I came back, the first thing I did was install the theme that I got when everything went past kablooie. Then, I checked the registry to find all the recent pages that Firefox may have gone to. No data has been kept in the registry for these last pages. I installed my Session Manager and found a button in TabMix options to convert the sessions to the format of the Session Manager. I chose to find the file to convert. I had entered in the profile and found a session.rdf file which seemed to have my open tabs listed. I pointed out this file and they gave me 5 sessions to convert. I converted each of them.

    I could always not the session manager to work as he always had. The icon in my toolbar never woke up and was unusable. After looking at my notes of a previous issue, I found that I have not had installed the Session Manager. I remembered that the Session Manager included in the latest version of Tab Mix. I've disabled my module Manager of Session and used one to Tab Mix. I deselected the option to use Firefox built in session restore now my open tabs are back and it behaves like it was before.

    I checked all my Add-ons and plug-ins for a list, that I had a previous mess and it seems that I have not lost one of them after all. Then I went to add back the themes that I had lost and they were all back. I had not even tried to get than even their return.

    I just checked my prefs.js file and it seems to be the only one, that I had before the problem. I have no explanation as to why everything came back. It might even be divine intervention. It's working now and I am delighted.

    Now if I can just get back all this time...

  • Can I recover the Favorites lost and passwords and all other memory browser information? I lost everything and I don't even know why and how.

    I don't know what happened, but I think that somehow mozilla crashed trying to open Skype (and Skype crashed too) and at the same time, I've lost everything I've ever saved in the browser; PWS, info, all the bookmarks, navigation everything. Is it the 'template' (the custom background) browser. Can you collect all this information? I tried to restore the bookmarks, but he says simply unable to do. Everything is ok and can be restored from, but bookmarks... It is really annoying because I got tons of them and all the important things, now it's all gone. Is anyway to at least recover bookmarks?

  • Major update of Windows 7 = lost everything...

    Hey there.

    I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 ultimate installed on it. I recently did a huge update that had the little pop up at the bottom right of my screen saying something like: this is an important update, your computer will restart in 15 minutes. So I decided to do and went.

    When I came back, I lost everything... And I mean everything! I am a digital artist with photoshop CS5 and other programs, I had hundreds of photos and several paid and other programs... Went. It was as if I just bought a new laptop. With firefox and recycle bin on my background.

    If you know a way to get everything back, please let me know.

    cordially MartiLav

    Hi MartiLav,

    Perform the System Restore to an earlier date updates you mention in your question. This should restore your computer to its previous state.

    I tried to cancel my subscription for months, but it never terminates the process.  I am so sick of paying for a product that I have everything simply because I can't talk to someone and it circles me just around and around. It won't let me cancel no matter how many times I've followed the instructions. I'm out $89.97 because I tried to cancel the first time. Please help me find another way to solve this problem which is not in the directions.

  • Has anyone else been concluded another renewal of 12 months without being notified? then tried to cancel and charged?

    I had already been told by phone when I tried to cancel before the end of my 12 month subscription that I have to wait until it ended and then could cancel when I tried that I would be out of the period of 12 months, otherwise I would have to pay the cancellation fee or pay the rest of the period.  So, today, when I tried to cancel, I was shocked to be told I had been concluded an additional month of 12 June 2015 plan and having to pay £ 91,30 cancellation fees.  They said they sent me, but I don't have email, not even in junk.  When I tried to complain, customer service were not at all helpful and stuck to their "script" that I have to pay to the top!  I find it disgusting that Adobe Customer Services have no customer any service to their customers.
