Homepage and boomarks reset in years. Lost passwords.
So I reset firefox after he suggested, he turned slowly, he had been and said password, bookmarks and others would all be saved so I did this, went backwards and things seemed to accept my new tab pages had been reconditioned, but it seemed well given bookmarks and passwords were all still there.
Go today and it is the application of updates to plugins, it begins to fill half, and after a few minutes is still blocked in the half, so I close, stupid of me maybe, then load firefox and it works great until my homepage is Miniclips... It has not been that for a good few years, my favorites are also returned in what they were a few years ago, potentially past might have as well for example all current passwords are lost.
It's strange, I wonder where Firefox found these old bookmarks?
Refresh Firefox should have created a folder of old data of Firefox on your desktop. You will find that? It will have a copy of your old settings folder from the moment wherever you run the update and we can use these files to recover.
But first, if you haven't tried this since the problem began, could you stop and restart Windows? Sometimes after a Windows Update there is a glitch of permissions and Firefox cannot load the settings correctly.
Here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's perhaps faster than the recovery of individual files and load those in your damaged profile.
Check inside the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds on your desktop in a folder with a name random semi. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.
Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:
Overview
Here are the steps described in more detail below:
- Create a new Firefox profile
- Delete all of this profile folder
- Copy in all of the old profile folder
Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)
Out of Firefox and start in the Profile Manager by pasting the following text in the search box of the start menu, or the start > Run dialog box and pressing ENTER:
firefox.exe -P
Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.
Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.
Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer
Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- Menu help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.
Copy old data instead of new
In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).
Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).
Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.
Launch Firefox
Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?
You can use the Profile Manager to switch between profiles as needed or desired. Please do not use the Profile Manager "delete profile" button without a backup - it is simply too easy to accidentally delete the wrong.

I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!
Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:
- Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
- Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
- Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.
