How can I save my favorites with a backup program?

Prior to Firefox 4.0, I could tell my automatic backup program to back up the file "bookmarks.html" in my profile folder. Now that the file is the set of default bookmarks that comes with a newly installed Firefox, it is not my favorites. I also can't just load a bookmarks.html file in my browser as a standard Web page.

How is it an improvement for the management of bookmarks? It's terrible. I can't keep my favorites saved automatically. Not manually I export my file Favorites every time I add a bookmark! That would be ridiculous.

You can make Firefox 3 create a backup automatic HTML (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox, if you set the pref browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML true on the subject: config page.

The backup is created by default in the profile folder bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and the path through the pref browser.bookmarks.file on the topic: config page.

This pref does not exist by default, and you may need to create a new pref browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML string and set the value to the full path of the file backup bookmarks.
Note: an HTML backup preserves tags and annotations, to lose them if you need to import the backup HTML.

To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref.

  • How can I save a project with transparent work plan?

    Hello

    Can you please explain to me how to save a project EPS with transparent work plan? I mean, everytime I open the project from the work to be transparent plan.

    I need to know How to save the whole project with transparent work plan, not only the image with a transparent background (the project to be with one transparent artboard).

    Thank you!

    Well, the first thing you want to do is forget about format EPS. He served in a modern workflow and can't stand any kind of transparency.

    Also, think that the Illustrator artboard is nothing more than a set of limits. It has no opacity or transparency.

    If you want to see the transparency (an oxymoron) in your editing environment, choose View > show transparency grid. It's a view simple setting... not a file attribute.

  • How can you save the original with the catalog file file after edit

    OK I'll try boarding.

    First of all, I shoot a game... According to 600 photos. Import the game in lightroom, I mark the photos I want and delete the catalog. I edit and rename and export the files I want the game. say 300 photos.

    My question is; After saving the 300 photos in the catalogue how match the original photos with those exported if they match.

    I think that the best answer is to change your workflow.

    I never export photos except for a specific purpose (e-mail, web, print), and then after that I used the photos exported, I remove the exports. I do not export them just to have sitting around on my hard drive for some whose use is more later. In this way, the photo is still available in Lightroom, and if you want this photo retouched, you go into Lightroom and find and export as required. It is not question to match to originals with exported given that you do not keep the exported photos once they have served their purpose (e-mail, web, print).

  • How can I restore my favorites with old Firefox Sync?

    I have sync key and password of the old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my favorites.
    Three years ago, I use Firefox sync, but as I put t use.

    You must connect to the synchronization using a 29 pre-Firefox version to re-establish a connection to the server and attempt to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your sync for Firefox 29 account. See this KB article - synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

    Firefox 29 + uses a hidden recovery key and no way to get into the old "key".

    Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync was not intended to be a cloud of data storage. It was created to keep synchronized multiple installations of Firefox.

  • How can you save your favorite sites?

    I have to restart my PC to factory because of some missing drivers and will have all the information or so I said.

    Hello

    A factory restore will wipe the hard drive and restore the computer to its factory condition. The computer get and behaves as it is new and will have the previous state without 'memory' of sound. Specifically, the computer will format the disk hard disk and reinstall windows and then will install the drivers of the right software for your computer.

    It is important to keep in mind that making factory restore will erase everything from your computer. In a sense, it's like send your PC to the manufacturer and get a new computer that is the same model. You'll lose all data, including, documents, files, programs and settings.

    Back up your files somewhere safe on some type of external media such as a disk external hard, a key flash USB, CD/DVD, or cloud storage online.

    How can I save items on a USB key with Vista

    Plug the Flash drive.  Go to start / computer and find your USB drive listed there.  Find what you want to record on the FlashDrive (from other units identified in Explorer) and copy / them (CTRL + C) and then go to your USB key and click it to open it and press Ctrl + V to paste the files.  That's all there is to it.  You can create folders to store files, like flash drives have limits on the number of files can be stored in the root directory (but not folders).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
