How to reinstall Firefox on my drive 'F' (where he was and still exists from before my PC totally crushed) and then how do I point FF for my old profile?

Win XP (why? because I like the interface) completely crashed and had to be reinstalled. How can I get Firefox to install on one drive other than the C drive? I want FF back in the same place it was. (The files on drive F are all still in place). Also, I want to keep my old profile and Add-ons, etc.

During installation, you will be asked where you adopt the program.

If it does not find your old profile, we can fix that later.

Hi, FredMcD means probably 39.0 version, not 38.0.5.

Thank you

    Windows 7 on a Dell desktop computer. Firefox updated to version 6.02 yeaterday. When I then opened it, I found nothing, nor the software let me restore backup bookmarks.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • How can I point LR2 for my photos

    I am reinstalling my software on a new system and can't seem to point lightroom for my photos.  I know that there is a way to do it.  I want LR to import, maybe this isn't the right word, my existing photos and create a catalog based on the structure of my file.  I keep trying to create a catalogue or a collection, but when I go into the folder where are my photos, he continues to ask for a file name.  When I try to import files to the disc, he wants a destination.  I don't want to move the files, I just LR to use as a source.  It can't be that hard, but I keep going round in circles.

    When you make a file-> import Photos from disk, you choose how Lightroom handles the photos. You choose the pictures and then in the import of pictures dialog box, under file, select Add pictures to catalog without moving.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • 39 of Firefox crashes on online videos, video goes out and then crashes the browser.

    This only happens with videos. When I watch a video in a few minutes the video area gets black. When I scroll upwards or downwards, it corrupts the whole Web page type. If I change taps, they get completely black, and then I can't do anything. This started happening about two months ago. I have re installed Firefox 39 and 38, but the problem persists. I even reinstalled Windows 7, because I thought it was a Virus, but it was without result. I really like using Firefox, so I hope that this problem has a solution.

    Strange graphical artifacts may indicate an incompatibility between Firefox and your software driver graphics card/chipset. To work around this, you could try disabling Firefox to use hardware acceleration:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again. Any difference?

    If the player uses the Flash, the Flash plugin has a similar option: press right-click and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    Any improvement?

    Because hardware acceleration improves the appearance of fonts and animations, you can check if graphics card/chipset driver updates are available for your system. This support article suggest safe places to do it: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

  • USB ext hard drive keeps stalling, error message, and then re - appears

    the maxtor drive is sometimes considered, sometimes not.  This change while the pc is turned on.  I get different errors, not installed correctly, problem with hard drive 2.  I have recently upgraded to windows 7 vista teacher, the problem was the same in vista.

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a problem with your maxtor drive.

    Were you able to do a health check on it? It works on other computers (if you have others to try)

    Try to other usb ports on your computer.

    You have a cable extra-long usb, sometimes long usb cables can drop the unit.
    If not, maybe it could be a hardware problem with your usb port or the maxtor drive.

    Kind regards

  • Recently reinstalled Firefox on my PC, no longer can "bookmarks" click and see all listed. It forces me to mouse hover on 'unsorted bookmarks' now

    Before recently reinstalled Firefox on my PC, I could click bookmarks and all my favorites belong immediately. Now instead I receive a menu drop-down and have to move my mouse over "unsorted bookmarks", then select the one I want access, not more than before. How can I set up so I just click the icon and the list of bookmarks without additional steps? Thank you, Jim S.

  • After you have reinstalled a new hard drive, my system is slower than before

    I have a dv6000 HP Pavilion with Windows vista 32 bit.  My hard drive crashed and we bought and upgraded to a 500 GB.  I reinstalled all my software and update everything, but it seems that it has not been installed correctly (vista).  This is my 2nd hard drive and the 1st time, we have not had any problems.  This time it does not appear that correctly reinstalled Vista.  None of my previous icons came back, I had to do these myself.  My system is "slower" than ever.  Commissioning is slow, clicking in IE is slow.  My system seems to freeze and lock up a lot now then that on the internet or turned off.  Sometimes just clicking on IE or even one of my programs, it takes a very long time to come.  No information has no reinstall my external hard drive, everything here is new and fresh.  I'm just uninstall everything and try everything again.  I am completely frustrated.

    Hi Jan,

    Do you have more details on the hard disk that you purchased? These can be signs that the drive is defective and fails.
    Usually, if a car goes to the failure of your computer behaves strangely. This could be anything to take time abnormally long starting or opening programs to receive errors trying to save files.
    Since how long have you bought the new drive? If he was recently, which means the last month or so, I think it would be better to return it to the store that you bought it and exchange it for a scratch disk.
  • I reinstalled firefox pinterest bookmarklet no longer works, why?

    I have a Mac with OS 10.5.8. I have Firefox 3.6.28. For reasons too long to quote I had to reinstall Firefox. I don't know what was the previous version. I'm more able to use the bookmarklet pinterest. It worked fine before the reinstall. The bookmarklet works fine in other browsers.

    Another option to consider is to install the latest version of Firefox 10.0.x ESR that this version is newer than the version of Firefox 16.0.2.

    Firefox 17 ESR replaced the version of Firefox 10 ESR, so turn off the automatic update and do not manually update.

  • Right click menu is huge, how to get back the old menu in order to highlight a Word and then look for?

    In previous versions of FF I could highlight one or more words and then right click menu context had a "search on the internet with the help of these words" option. What makes the search so much easier.
    How can I get that back and get rid of that right Monster click menu?

    I had the same problem, I think he appeared with version Firefox 20.0
    That's how my right click menu resembled http://prntscr.com/z0k15
    Half of the links on this subject did not.
    Reinstalling firefox did not help.

    Problem was caused by the FIREBUG Addon 1.10.6.
    Problem is solved if I disable and re activate firebug. I hope that newre version of firebug will fix the problem.

    EDIT: FIREBUG 1.11.2 fixed problem. It seems that firebug is not updated autoamticly, you must remove the old addon and reinstall the new version.
