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?

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.

  • How can I recover my data from the address book?

    I have an old Palm V.  My hotsync cable is bad, it synchronizes more.  And it does not load the Palm, who was fresh off for, oh, maybe a year.

    So I have always used the Palm Desktop program, to keep track of my phone numbers, etc.   Well, my cat has sprayed the pc, and I had to get a new one.  Meanwhile, with the short circuits happened, the program opens not right.  I copied what I thought, it was user files, reinstalled Palm Desktop and am open program, HOWEVER, the user box comes back as it is a brand new user and does not recognize when I paste the files in the directory!

    How can I recover my address book?  I don't like on all other data, but I NEED something like that!

    Thanks in advance.

    You have a backup file called address.dat or address.bak. If this isn't the case, then your data are most likely missing. Search your PC or the other of these two files.

  • Hello. I installed the latest version of Firefox and I don't like. How can I go on back to the previous version (3.6.3 I think)? Thanks, Geoff

    I think the latest version is very slow when you access web pages. I want to return to the previous version to see if it's better. How can I go about changing back?

    To return to the previous secure version which is 3.6.17, follow these steps:

    1. Go to Download Firefox v3.6.17 and upload it to the office.
    2. Then go to add/remove programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and delete it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, etc., the customizations (don't tick the box).
    3. Reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    4. Finally, run the installation file downloaded previously on the desktop.

    Your bookmarks, etc., customizations are stored in a different location and will become available to you even once you complete the installation.

    After completing the installation, go to the Plugins check page and update if necessary.

    However, before go you that route, here are some tips to make it look like the previous version of FF4.

    • Right-click on an empty part of the toolbar tab and click "Tabs on top" to remove the check mark. Tabs later reappears under the search bar.
    • Repeat the same steps, but click on the top of the page, one called 'Menu bar '. This will restore the text at the top links.
    • To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps and choose "Customize". A Panel opens and who remains on the screen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc. around and place them anywhere you want. You can also drag anything there that you don't like Panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.

  • How can I import my favorites from an old version to the new version of firefox?

    I want to improve Firefox from an earlier version to a more recent, but I have a lot of favorites that I want to how I do it and what is the best way? Help, please.

    When you perform an installation upgrade, Firefox usually migrates the settings automatically for you. However, 3.5 is quite an old version, so I don't know if it will work the first time, or if you may need to upgrade in two steps: first to 3.6, and then at 17.

    First, I suggest you back up your complete folder of parameters, so you can restart the process if necessary. This article explains how to get the file; You can just make a copy outside the path of Mozilla: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Second, you can export your bookmarks to an HTML file as an additional option. This file must also be registered somewhere safe. You will find the export function in the dialog box Organize Favorites? (Things may have moved...)

    These steps work?

  • HOW CAN I GET MY FAVORITES FROM THE INTERNET EXPLOER TO BE ON THE STARTING WINDOW OF FIREFOX

    I WOULD GET FAVORITES

    Usually, when you install Firefox will ask you if you want to import you contacts and Favorites IE in Firefox, but if you don't have that you can go to the Firefox drop-down box in the left corner of the screen and select a bookmark. Then, select Show all bookmarks. A window will appear and on the top, there is a menu bar with a button that says import and backup select this option in the drop down menu, it says import data from another browser that select and then follow the steps.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I recover my favorites from my sync without recovery key account?

    I lost my old Mac computer already and therefore do not have my 'recovery key' more. Is there a way to retrieve my favorites configured previously with my sync account? Thank you.

    Sorry, without your recovery key / sync key data are useless and cannot be retrieved from the server for synchronization, that 'key' is the data encryption algorithm when out of your computer - while traveling through the internet and server synchronization and while on the synchronization server. It is a 'key' generated at random who you only ever see or have access to.

  • 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)

  • The windows of the bar of Windows are already a form of tabs, so I need them in Firefox. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox?

    RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
    The windows bar already functions as a tab bar. These tabs are called "windows". So, I find windows superfluous Firefox tab. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox? I don't need to what are essentially the bars of TWO Windows covering the entire width of the image of my screen! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen, and if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position towards the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK at the windows of Firefox tabs bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a SECOND bar Windows superfluous.

    Here are my reasons why I prefer to use Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I love and admire Firefox intended to Mozilla on good security for Personas Firefox Add-on and for free use of Firefox in the Add on Ad-Block, which, as you know, has the merit of separate to reduce the size of the screen - the last is my reason for wanting to get rid of "windows" Firefox SUPERFLUOUS tabs bar. I'm terribly sick companies forcing bars (most representative of marketing campaigns, trying to sell me something) in my browser (and in my throat) whenever I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I have deliberately talking about your bar of Firefox tabs as a '' windows' tabs Firefox bar', because the TABS are WINDOWS!)

    You can also have an addon to open new tabs in a new window.
