How can I recover my favorites after having reinstalled Win7 and Firefox?
I had to reinstall Win7 and Firefox and now need to find my bookmarks file and put it back in Firefox. What is called, and where is it located?
These backup files are compressed and not human readable. You can use it to completely replace your current set of bookmarks using the rollback feature (see beyond the dates at the bottom of the menu "Choose file...).
Important: A restore completely replaces your current set of bookmarks. If you have saved any new bookmarks you need, add a few steps:
(1) export current bookmarks to a file as HTML: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
(2) then do the restore
(3) import this file in HTML format: import bookmarks to an HTML file
(4) move the Bookmarks imported into their correct locations (they should be a folder of bookmarks imported somewhere on the menu bookmarks or Unsorted bookmarks)

How can I recover my favorites from the previous version of Firefox?
I just loaded the new version of Firefox. My Favorites from the previous version have disappeared. How can I get back them? I went through the provided recovery method, nothing.
Do you still have backups of bookmark in the bookmarkbackups folder?
- Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them
You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop in the case where you have refreshed Firefox and created a new profile?
You can retrieve the form of the data of the 'Old Firefox Data' folder, but be careful.
You can copy files like these in your current Firefox profile folder.
- bookmarks/history: backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and perhaps places.sqlite, if you really need the history
- other SQLite files cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins. JSON and signons3.txt (decryption key) of the saved passwords in password manager
- Permissions.SQLite and, possibly, content - prefs.sqlite permissions and Site preferences
- cert8. DB for stored intermediate certificates (Certificate Manager)
- sessionstore.js to open and pinned tabs and tab groups
- Persdict.dat for the words that you added to the spelling dictionary
Note that "Reset/Refresh" creates a new default profile with a time stamp to identify it and trying to retrieve settings such as Favorites and history and history and cookies and passwords, data of automatic filling of the old profile, but you lose data such as the installed extensions and other customizations.
The current profile folder will be moved to the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop. -

My story memorable and kept going back quite a few months. After the release of Firefox for 23.0.1 I lost all my history and Firefox keeps only the websites visited once the new version has been installed. My favorites were selected. I tried to get back in "Import and backup", but it goes back only to the date of the new facility. I tried places.sqlite "Roaming", but there is only one with the current date. Is there a way to recover the lost history? Why Firefox was losing it? It's going to happen averytime that updates Firefox?
Manually back up your bookmarks. If you have used the 'import', you have already lost some information by overwriting. As a matter of course you should always save current bookmarks manually before using any restorations.
This way you can make sure you are able to restore the current set. Your backup .json file put a safe off-trail program or Firefox profile. The desktop of Windows or the removable media would be appropriate.
Firefox creates a bookmark, but does nothing about backup history. Fortunately Windows probably backup previous versions of your files places.sqlite and this is the database with the history and bookmarks in it. See if you can recover a recent version of this, it will restore your story up to the date of the restored file.
- http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
- the places.sulite file is in the Firefox profile, a hidden folder that is easy to find by searching for defects. See profiles of boards - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data_how-do-i-find-my-profile
Then import your latest bookmarks from anywhere where they were rescued. Import replaces the slightly older bookmarks from the Windows file.
You my wish also can install and run the addon places maintenance.
That can be used to check and repair the places.sqlite database. It will give a brief report. Note If the places.sqlite runs out of space, he begins removing history.
In the future you my wish to regularly create occasional backups of your profile or at least your places.sqlite

After the upgrade to Windows 8.1, I have to enter my password, if I click on the 'Rainbow' at RPM screen and moving toward my office after I shut down and restart by pressing the power switch.
However, if I click on the power icon and select [Restart], the rebstarts 15 t on the desktop (I want!).
I ran "netplwiz" and all options offered, but none of them ignore the display of password to the power on - so frustrating!

Only half (A - L) my old favorites of Internet Explore (Firefox Bookmarks) have been transferred, when I switched from IE to Firefox yesterday. Is there a way to recover M - Z? I have a bunch. Check the answer as simple as you can because I'm not too tech savvy. Thank you.
If there are problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.
- Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML:
File > Import and Export
- Import HTML file in Firefox:
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "import from file":
When Firefox is set to zero, then a new profile is created and some of your data (Favorites, history, cookies, passwords, data form) is imported automatically your current profile will be moved on the desktop (old data of Firefox).
You will lose the extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made.It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be careful to avoid transporting on the problem.

Can I recover my favorites After erasing the data?
I had accidentally erased my data for Firefox on my android phone and lost all my favorites. I got the app moved to my SD card before but did not synchronize my information. Is it possible that I can restore to an earlier date or save anything at all? Thank you
Erases data from Firefox should not impact bookmarks if you used Firefox interface.
If you have used Android settings allows you to delete data or uninstalled and reinstalled, then the data are missing.

How can I recover my lost after updating to Firefox v33 tabs?
Problem: After updated to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP the tabs in my previous session, which was last night at 23:38 UTC
Here are the steps I took:
(1) history > restore previous session is grayed out.
(2) I checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > general Panel > when Firefox starts: show my windows and tabs from last time.
(3) I clicked on Firefox > properties > Previous Versions. But since I have never set up any kind of restore configuration, there is no earlier versions available.
(4) I tried to search the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder and replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because this file date has changed to 14/10/2014 18:38. However, I can't find the session.js file and the files only related to sessionstore I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak - 20140923175406.
Help, please! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to history to find my tabs one by one, because I also had groups of tabs that I didn't open in a month or more and each group of tabs have several tabs in them also.
First of all, very important, please make a backup of all files that begin with sessionstore in a safe place, such as your Documents folder.
If the .js extension does not appear on your file sessionstore.js (the session.js file), you can stop hiding file extensions windows, at least temporarily. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
If sessionstore.js is completely absent, it's very strange. In this case, I suggest to leave Firefox and then rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.bak to see if Firefox can read this file when it starts again.
There are a few techniques to extract the URL of sessionstore.* files which can be useful if sessionstore.bak is not useful.
