How to get the Favorites lost after a reset?

I did a factory reset on my laptop and all my files backed up on an external hard drive, but I forgot to save my favorites. After that I gave my computer to its factory and loaded settings near the top of Mozilla Firefox, I realized that all my favorites have disappeared. What can I do to get back them? How can I get back them easily? Is there a trick? A program to use?

Thanks for the responses, but none of them were useful. I said that I did a factory reset which causes a bookmark restoration dates be reset.

Here is what fixed my problem:

  1. Download, install and run a program of recovery as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard file and do a full scan of your hard disk (c :))
  2. Locate a backup of the file "Places.sqlite" (the file that contains the entire library of bookmarks)
  3. Retrieve and save this file on a flash drive
  4. Go to: computer (c) > users > yourname > AppData > Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox > profiles - there must be a visible profile folder (example: x00000.default)
  5. Go to the profile folder and delete all files with "places.sqlite" in the name of the file (should be 1-3 files).
  6. Insert the backup that you saved "places.sqlite" in the profile folder
  7. Start Mozilla Firefox, and then press Ctrl + Shift + B.

There is no real problem with that solution for others try. If something does not work, it is because the instructions were not followed properly, or there is simply no bookmarks backup file to recover. What you need is saved in the file "places.sqlite" Mozilla read it when starting the browser and automatically reveal all bookmarks that were supported on this file at the time the backup was created, if its crucial you retrieve this file.

I hope this helps others, because I had to find this solution on my own.

    No, fav records logical like recent files.  But the changes are probably necessitated by demand and I think that the majority of users import maps 90% of the time.

  • How to get the original item_property after have changed at runtime

    Hello

    for example:

    in my form there is an ITEM_A defined with VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE = "ABCD_RED".

    while executing, this property turns into "XYZ_GREEN".

    Set_Item_Property ('BLOCK_A.ITEM_A', VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'XYZ_GREEN');

    Now I can read this property of Get_Item_Property - (real function, it is "XYZ_GREEN")
    But what about the origin of property "ABCD_RED".

    Is it possible to get the origin of property on a direct question to my form
    without saving it initially in time?

    Thank you
    Norbert

    You can save it in a variable before editing or you can reset the property to the original value that was set at design time.

    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('my_item', VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, '');
    

    Just use two single quotes without space between them "and the property will be reset to what it was at design time.

  • How to get the BT works after removing the battery of BT on a Satellite A120

    Hello

    I have a new satellite A120 and it had bluetooth...
    IT HAD bluetooth.
    I clicked by mistake on the prog to install for battery bluetooth... and it UNINSTALLED.

    Now, it will not install again. It just happens to 'Setup Bluetooth device', waits, and then comes back with the message "Please plug in the bluetooth device, then click OK" and bluetooth devices are in Control Panel or the system devices.

    What can I do?

    Objects of curiosity very it is, because you can't "Uninstall" a hardware system with just disconnected from the control panel. After that, it must be recognized by the system and reinstalled. Do you have a few unknown devices in your device manager.

    It might be trying to let Device Manager looking for new material, and then your machine you might find the BT card.

    Second stirng - Kennedy

    Create table names (fullname varchar2 (20));

    Please let me know how to proceed

    Thank you

    Hello

    This proves what I said before, on 0 and several commas commas.

    If we add these 3 rows to the sample data you posted:

    insert into names (fullname) values ("tou").

    insert into names (fullname) values (' David, Lloyd, George ");

    insert into names (fullname) values ('J, R, R, Tolkien");

    then the query I posted earlier produced these results:

    FULLNAME FIRSTNAME LASTNAME

    -------------------- -------------------- --------------------

    John, Kennedy John Kennedy

    Nicolas, Nicolas Shan Shan

    Don Bosco Don Bosco

    TOU tou

    David Lloyd, George David Lloyd, George

    J, R, R, Tolkien J R, R, Tolkien

    If you prefer to get these results:

    FULLNAME FIRSTNAME LASTNAME

    -------------------- -------------------- --------------------

    John, Kennedy John Kennedy

    Nicolas, Nicolas Shan Shan

    Don Bosco Don Bosco

    TOU tou

    David Lloyd, George David, Lloyd George

    J, R, R, J, R, R Tolkien Tolkien

    then you just change line 1:

    WITH got_commapos AS

    (

    SELECT FullName

    , INSTR (fullname, ','-1) AS commapos-* CHANGED *.

    Names

    )

    SELECT FullName

    , SUBSTR (fullname, commapos 1, -1) AS a first name

    SUBSTR (fullname, commapos + 1) in the FORM name

    What version of Win 8.1 is the unit having now? If it's the PRO version, then probably you need to enter a product key if you reinstall.

  • How to get the icons to display correctly in the Finder?

    At the time of the "classic" Mac OS, if the icons are not correctly display in the Finder, we could 'rebuild the desktop file' to correct the problem. I've recently updated to Yosemite, and most things work well, but for some reason, most of the files in the Finder .webloc now show as blank icons (but not all; a few show the correct icon). There is no model, I can see: some very old .webloc files now show a white icon (where I know that their icons used to be correct), while the most recent show the icon of correct - although I just created four (by dragging the URL of the Safari, the usual method) which are all empty. Sometimes they appear with the older icon, with the symbol @ (although those who seem to have changed vacuum after running and restart maintenance). I tried from an external disk, repair permissions and repair the file system, as well as cleaning with the utility of Maintenance (which clears the web browser and other caches), nothing works. Does anyone know how to get the computer to display these icons correctly?

    May be a corrupt .plist.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.  Move the .plists on your desktop.

    Relaunch the Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works fine, delete the plists from the desktop.

    If the same, return the .plists to where you obtained since, by crushing the latest.

  • How to get the reference or the property of a member in OOP node?

    Hello world

    Is it possible to get the referral of a member in OOP?

    After you have created a class and an insert, a member of control in the cluster, I conclude that, when a right click on it, there is no element of "creat-> reference" or "create-> property node?

    So, how to get the reference or the property of a member in OOP node?

    Hello

    There are a few reasons that you can't do what you want to do:

    1 al ' LVOOP ordinary (as opposed to the DVRS in LabVIEW 2009, or some other framework / pattern design) are items of LabVIEW by value, as a cluster and therefore you can not create a reference to a class.

    2. a control of the object (this is what you get when you drop an object on a façade) is a 'black box' because you cannot look inside. This is to support the idea that the class data private. This means that you can't get a reference to all internal control when its on a façade

    3. check the references are valid only for the controls in the Panel before and therefore any class (or other piece of data of LabVIEW) on a wire / shift register / constant / anywhere other that of the façade, will have only the data portion of the available control.

    To access the items within a class, you create the accessor screws (you can create them easily by right-clicking a class (or the folder within the class) in the project tree and selecting New-> VI to access data members.) This VI would at least have a unbundle / bundle node (depending on whether its read/write) and could, if you have many more features such as range checking. You can use this VI whenever you want to read the Member your interested.

    I hope this helps.
