How to get the Favorites after resetting my computer? firefox saved on the external hard drive folder

I had to reset my computer because I downloaded a sort of hidden adware that downloads new adware permanently, which makes my computer unusable. Adware ill-conceived, lol.

I saved the folder of firefox mozilla whole folder of files (x 86) programs on an external hard drive. I thought that if I just copied this file on the computer, my favorites would be sympathetic to it. all the Favorites are gone.

bookmarks are not stored in the folder of firefox? is it possible to recover? It's worth years of bookmarks I need for work.

any help is greatly appreciated, thank you. I tried the suggestions that others had offered for similar problems.

Your Firefox personal data is not stored in the Firefox program folder, but are stored in the Firefox profile folder that is located in the AppData\Roaming\ folder.

  • C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

If you do not save this profile folder then your bookmarks and other personal data is lost.

  • How to get the external hard drive to connect to VMWare Player?

    Hi all

    I currently have VMWare Player 3.1.4 and that you have a VM installed on an external SSD that works very well.

    The guest operating system is XP and host operating system is OpenSuSE 11.4.

    The problem is that I have another external hard drive that I want to connect to the virtual machine to store files and other (WD Scorpio Black 320 GB).

    So what I tried was when I opend VMWare Player, I went to add a new SCSI device, found the hard drive, I wanted to use and created it. But when I go in-> "VM" > "Removable devices" > "generic SCSI (SCSI 0:1) ' > 'Connect'-> I get the below error message.

    Device virtual scsi0:1: could not open the device host "/ dev/sdc": not sufficient permissions to access the file. Please make sure that the virtual device is configured to use a Linux generic SCSI device (/ dev/sg *), and that the physical device works normally on the host computer.
    Cannot connect the device virtual scsi0:1.

    Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? What are the permissions are they talking about?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

    Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

    I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

    Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

    Method 2:

     

    Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

    b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

    c. check if the hard drive is present here.

    Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

    b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

    Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

  • IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

    I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

    < re-titled by host >

    I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

    Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

    How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

    IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

    I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

    IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

    What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

  • How to restore my files after resetting my computer?

    original title: how iget back my files after resetting my computer?

    I recently had to resett my computer after trying to go wireless, my broadband provider sent me a defective router and my laptop just crashed! I had to restore it back to factory settings and judt wondering if there is any chance of getting my pictures back and my itunes library and files?

    If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

    You can try this program:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

    Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  • Photos of deleted the external hard drive after updating Lightroom

    I just installed the new update.  Wish I had read some of the forums before hand.     Of the photos on external hard drive and I wanted to add them to the catalog.  After that I added to an existing catalog, I don't see pictures on the external hard drive.     If I click on the folder on the external drive, there is nothing in the folder.     If I unplug the external drive, I see the question mark by the photos.

    In addition, if I take the external hard drive and plug it into my laptop (Macbook Pro), Lightroom detects photos and does not watch the point mark.  However, I can not see the pictures on the external hard drive.

    Where can I watch, or how to find them.   This seems very odd.

    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the reply Akash.

    I did as you asked.

    When to disconnect the drive and click on ""?, "it shows the external drive as the previous location."

    Where to plug the hard drive and search using the finder, that nothing is found.

    When I connect the drive, Lightroom see files and works normally.

    Lightroom sees the files if the external hard drive is connected which leads me to believe that they are still on the drive.    However, they are able to access by Lightroom.  I see nothing in the files on the external hard drive.

    This really baffled me.

    Kind regards

  • How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

    I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

  • Portege Z830 - where can I get the new HARD drive

    Hello

    I have problem with my toshiba portege z830 ultrabook.
    My HARD drive died, and I don't know where I can get the new HARD drive.

    I've got guaranteed but I am forgotten registered my cell phone before when I went for repairs not authorized, because my first problem was with the motherboard.

    This motherboard has been replaced for new ones.
    If my warranty is maybe cancelled.

    Well, that's my problem to another.

    What should I do?
    Please help me. I am available to do anything.

    Hello

    I think that you should first check if your warranty is still valid.
    This can be checked on Toshiba Unitdetails page:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/

    Where the warranty is valid, get in touch with maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for replacement.

    But as far as I know the Portege Z830 was equipped with an mSATA SSD drive.
    This means that the laptop doesn't support HDD 2.5 common but requires special mSATA SSD drive module.

    In case your warranty is not valid, you will pay for a new mSATA module.
    Replacement should do a service provider authorized Toshiba as well because this replacement is a little tricky on this model of laptop.

  • Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.
