  For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

  To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

  Menu help > about Firefox

  I installed Firefox 4.0 and all my favorites were there, so I uninstalled 3.6, reopened 4.0 and all my favorites have disappeared.

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  Is today

  Sorry, it seems that you have selected the option to remove my Firefox personal data and customizations when you uninstalled Firefox 3.6. This option removes all the personal data for all versions of Firefox you have installed.

  Any chance that you made a backup of these data?

• Mozilla has suggested reset firefox to fix the slow and now all my favorites have disappeared.

  It took a while for firefox on startup when I clicked on the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggest I have reset firefox and all my bookmarks, cookies, etc. would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far, the only thing this computer recognize now is my sign-on so that I can ask this question.

• I've just updated to 13.0 and ALL my favorites have disappeared - how to bring them back?

  I've just updated to Firefox 13.0 (I use a MacBook OSX 10.5.8 running). She started very well, but my favorites are now gone. When I opened the menu bookmark is completely empty - as if I just started to use Firefox for the first time. Is there anyway to get back them? Or find a backup on my computer somewhere? (The last time that I exported backup was probably 6 months ago). Thank you!

  Hi elyyong,

  These items, please visit: recover lost or missing Favorites, restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer.

  I think that the restoration in the 2nd article section will be most useful.

  After back if not.

• I opened Firefox and all my favorites have disappeared. I went to the restaurant with a back-up and it is also not available.

  Other options?

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all of my favorites have disappeared.

  I recently started using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on Windows 7 platform. I got some kind of error message (I think only of Xmarks) about "bookmarks". I clicked on the message to solve the problem and zapp all my favorites have disappeared. I found my profile "bookmarksbackup" file but can not open it. I guess I need a JSON Viewer. I downloaded an opensource Viewer that looked good, but still not get anything that looks remotely to my old favorites. I thought I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my ignorance.

  In addition, if the bookmarksbackup files folder it contains, you can try to restore one of it via Firefox Bookmarks (Alt + B) > show all bookmarks > import and backup. See also this.

  Alternatively, you can also check your account of Xmarks for bookmarks. If it had been transferred successfully in the past, you can install Xmarks, connect to Xmarks Firefox, and then download the backup.

• I deleted my browsing history and all my favorites have been removed as well, I don't know what happened and I can't seem to find them?

  I went through my computer to clear the history, what I have done before and ALL my favorites have disappeared. I can't seem to find anyway and I want to know if/how to get back them.

  What method did you use to remove your browsing history?

  Firefox instant guard of your bookmarks over time so that you can restore to an earlier date. You can try the procedure of recovery described in this article and see if Firefox lists all earlier dates you can choose: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  Are they available?

• You're just past my firefox at 18.2, all my favorites have been removed, why

  At about 9:00 pm EST Firefox worked normally on my pc.

  At about 11: 30 a.m. et, I opened Firefox and got a Mozilla screen that says that the program has been changed.

  Now all my favorites have disappeared.

  Why

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

  You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

• all my pictures have disappeared? I work on a lot that I had downloaded, and then I selected, then went to create a new collection and baptized DH slideshow 2015, then press return and now it is gone! Help, please!

  All my pictures have disappeared? I work on a lot that I had downloaded, and then I selected, then went to create a new collection and baptized DH slideshow 2015, then press return and now it is gone! Help, please!

  You have created a new CATALOG... !  not a collection!  (looking at your screen-clip)

  Re-open your correct catalogue-'Lightroom Catalog.lrcat 5' in the Menu > file > open recent element.

  Select the pictures again, click [+] on the header of the COLLECTIONS Panel.

• Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)

  Basically, the question says it all.

  All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.

  I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

  If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?

  If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511

  Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.

• All my pictures have disappeared from the PSE Organizer 13 (after I've updated).

  All my pictures have disappeared from the PSE Organizer 13 (after I've updated).  The files are all on the hard drive.  When I try and import them, said organizer that they are already in there and I cannot proceed.  When I select a keyword, get the message "NO MEDIA to DISPLAY.  I may be dense, but I find the search function of the Forum to be nearly useless, unless I just happen to enter the Exact name of a subject.

  I have now no access to 35 000 files maybe 12 years of use of PSE!

  Hello

  Operating system that you are running on?

  What version you put in?

  In the Organizer, what view do you - use in the display menu is details checked, or unchecked - t - it make a difference?

  On the view menu, select media types - are all verified?

  Menu, select hidden - files is in view - show all files audited?

  I assume you're in the media view, what happens if you select the places people or events?
