How do the profile folder to change the settings?

A spammer has taken control of my email. AT & T says that I need to change my firefox profile settings, but I can't find the file. How to file.

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

Is last Thursday

Robert, if AT & T indicates that you need to change the profile settings of Firefox, you really see the profile folder. All you have to do is change the settings of Firefox by clicking on Tools at the top of Firefox and then click Options. When you change the settings of Firefox in this way, they are automatically saved in your profile folder.

In case you want to reset your Firefox settings to what they were at the time that Firefox has been installed, please follow the instructions in this article: Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and solve problems.

In any case, just for your information, you can view this article to know how to locate your profile folder: How to find your profile.

  • during an update lots of my profile folder has been put in a folder on the desktop marked the old data. How to restore this data file

    During a bet to update, automatic update of windows has started and some how much my profile data has been removed and stored in a file on the desktop. There is a simple and easy way to restore this folder from the current firefox?

    You can use the contents of the Old Firefox Data folder to "roll back" the refresh, but this involves several steps. It's probably even faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.

    Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. 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:

    1. Create a new Firefox profile
    2. Delete all of this profile folder
    3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

    Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

    Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following in the Windows search, or the Run dialog box by 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?

  • How can I delete messages in my Inbox. What is the profile folder

    Messages in my Inbox had a large red cross on them when I delete all of them, but it does not actually delete the message. In the instructions on how to fix this he begins by saying open a profile folder or something. WELL... If I know what they're talking about!
    Please explain how to simply delete messages in my Inbox > please, do not assume I know nothing so please do the simple instructions.
    Thank you. Terry Craig

    It must be something IMAP because there is no option under settings server settings for the account on my pop accounts

    Happy that you guessed it sorted.

  • How can I access the profile folder?

    IOriginal title: profile disappeared

    I had a user account under 'Pierre' (I am the only user/administrator) in which there were many folders (travel, photos, music,...). This folder/account is not accessible and visible in the Solution Explorer. Yet, when I do a search under 'C' it is still there under c/users and I can copy files and folders from there to store them in a different folder where I do not have access to the future.

    How can I do this immediately accessible account again under explore with all the data that was there without recourse to this procedure of workaround/copy of humungus? Dozen thank you!

    Stone

    What you reference is not an account, but a profile folder. It's probably hidden. You now need to tell Windows Explorer to show hidden folders: Tools / Folder Options / view / show hidden files, folders and drives. When you see then it again, by that you can view it right click it and checking its properties.

    To be the only 'administrator': it is a very risky way of running things. In this forum we receive a flood of requests from people whose one and only admin account has failed for some reason any. Plan in advance and creating, testing and documenting an alternative admin account would you save a lot of trouble.
  • How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder?

    How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder? Whenever I have change a folder name (after having published images), Lightroom "updates" the images in this folder and any changes I've made have disappeared!

    Thanks for the update.

    This isn't the correct workflow.

    When you rename a folder outside of Lightroom, it causes the link between this issue and Lightroom to be broken and images will be missed in the Lightroom Catalog

    and if you re-import them same images after that, it will import the original images and not the changes

    Lightroom does not store the original images it contains. It works on the previews and the changes you make are stored only in Lightroom.

    So, you have to rename or move this folder in Lightroom instead of doing outside so that you do not lose your changes.

    To rename a folder, select the folder name in the library module > right click / Control click and select Rename folder.

  • Is there a way to merge the bookmarks on my old pc with those on my new pc? (PS: I have unable connect to the old pc using old profile but can access the profiles folder).

    My profile on my old laptop has become corrupted and I can't log in with my regular account (admin). I would like to add and merge bookmarks former firefox to another laptop, which already has existing bookmarks. I can not simply copy and paste the profile folder as this would crush my existing bookmarks and settings. Unfortunately, I have not set up the sync on this browser feature.

    Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't have good tools to merge and dédupliquant bookmarks. I will propose a roundabout way to do. Here's an overview:

    (1) create a new profile Virgin (#3) in your current Firefox (see details at the end)

    (2) while using the #3 profile, restore a file in JSON format to backup your old (#1 profile) system (see restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer)

    (3) export bookmarks restored to an HTML element in a perfect location, with a file name unique format (see Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks)

    (4) exit Firefox and is reactivated in your normal profile (profile #2)

    (5) file bookmarks import as HTML (see import bookmarks in HTML file)

    (6) create a backup in case something is not going to step 7 (see restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer)

    (7) rearrange bookmarks in the folder of imported bookmarks (see https://support.mozilla.org/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-w...), possibly using an add-on deduplicating

    Create a new Firefox profile

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Do not delete anything here. Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button to create a profile, give it a name like OldBookmarks and skip the option to change the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    You are ready to return to the new profile and create export to HTML format.

    When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

  • Mail missing after restoring the messaging profile folder

    Hello, I had problems with my file sent and had to restore my profile folder to an old copy of 3 day, but after that my Inbox is missing mail for 16 days, the mail is extremely important because it contains all my orders and working material and I need a way to recover. Please help me! At the moment there is no earlier version or which folder to restore once I open his options on the file to the Inbox, what do I do now?

    restored what and how is the first question. If you mean windows restore, I'm from here. It's a mess of Microsoft, with that I want nothing to do.

    The only constant I can suggest is the right click on the folder in Thunderbird, select Properties, and then store the button fix to force a re-indexing of mail.

  • I changed the settings of Java and now Firefox plant she opens up, even in safe mode; How can I fix?

    I tried to change the settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Good or bad, I changed a setting Java-1 to 2. The setting spoke in: config and I think it was some sort of max. As I can't open anything, I'm not sure.

    When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, whenever I tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it hangs again immediately and will not reopen.

    Hi pternagy,
    Sorry, you have problems.

    For any future reference. Those of us who mess directly with: config soon find out how to get errors and it is wise to backup. Occasionally backup of your entire profile for example can be useful and would probably give you a quick solution of the copy on the file from the backup.

    OK on the topic to try to get Firefox back as it was:
    Find your profile and the prefs.js file and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your default preferences. You can then re open and use Firefox. Then, try to return to normal.

    Try to manually change the file prefs.js is normally a bad idea. However, if this is a one-time change prefs it would be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (while Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before. You have the file renamed to work with. Probably best to test this in a new additional profile so only break you test additional essential Firefox profiles profiles works do not.

    These articles should help you:

    Please post back with how you go and if you need additional assistance.
    Good luck.

  • Firefox 4. What is the difference between addons.sqlite and extensions.sqlite in the profile folder?

    I have separate facilities 3.6.15 Firefox and Firefox 4RC2, using their own separate and distinct profile folders.

    I already know that, in the profile folder:

    • Firefox 3.6.x has extensions.log, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf files
    • Firefox 4 has replaced extensions.rdf with extensions.sqlite
    • Firefox 4 has apparently no extensions.log
    • Firefox 3.6.x does not have addons.sqlite
    • Firefox 4 is has addons.sqlite

    For a better understanding of the present, can someone please clearly, answer the following 3 questions?

    What is

    1. the purpose of addons.sqlite in Firefox 4?
    2. How it / its function differ from the extensions.sqlite in Firefox 4
    3. both are really necessary?

    addons.SQLite stores the information that appears in the tab Addons > Extensions - under the button more , as well as the AMO URL for extensions that are not configuration to use this new feature.

    Extensions.SQLite stores the data on the installed extensions, by replacing the extensions.cache and extensions.rdf files.

    You really not need the addons.sqlite file, but I do not know the ramifications to delete the content of this file and 'locking' so that it is used. Not that it stores a large amount of data; only 320kb with 30 installed extensions.

  • Keep details of the folder is changed in default for any file type.

    I would like to have the details for the defined folder to 'Name', 'Update', 'Type' and 'size '.
    But every time I save a file in this folder, the details in this case happen to the default value for the type of file, I just saved.
    Ex: I save an mp3 in a folder and the details get passed to 'Name', 'Artists', 'Album', ' # ', 'Gender' and 'Notation '.
    Or, if I save an image, the details mode 'Name', 'Date', "Tags", "Size" and "rating".

    It's really annoying. I want the details of the case to stay on what I put them.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program AutoSizer to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

    Good luck!
