How to restore a folder I deleted lots of important bookmarks?

Help! I accidentally deleted a folder full of important bookmarks. How can I get it back?

Restoring from a prior day fix this? When I go to restore, it keeps giving me messages of script is unresponsive. Any ideas?

Where are the bookmark and folder names stored on my computer? I use OS X.

Favorites are stored in the Firefox profile in the user's library.
The path is < user name > /Users//Library/Application Support / Firefox/Profiles/< randomname > .default

The best way to find the profile is to use the help > troubleshooting information, and then click Show in Finder button.

I found it appropriate to keep backup copies of the profile, as well as a separate copy of the bookmarks as well.
You must have 10 copies available to restore bookmarks. Surely one of them is intact?

  • Time Machine - how to restore the files it deleted?

    I used Time Machine to restore your desktop earlier. In doing so he erased the current Office - which I had not saved. I know, I know. But is it possible to get the most recent desktop and its folders and files again?

    You cannot recover the files that you do not backup.

    NEVER start a major change to a computer without backup in progress...

    In any case... you are where you are now...

    How did you restore?

    If you have used assistant migration did you use the same usernames... If so, the old office went and wiped on... but if get it has used an audit of different username for users on the computer and the connection with the old name. Also, make sure that the name is not incremented. Recover can operate with two users with the same name... the existing and recovered... so it can rename one... for example, aickind (1) can exist with aickind (regardless of your user name on the computer).

    In the Finder, see the list of users. Open them directly from the main boot disk... not your usual list of Finder.

    If you use the wizard to configure the recovery partition... As far as I know you have wiped the computer from the recovery date... After all, it's what you asked to do.

  • 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?

  • I restored a few messages deleted from the Recycle Bin, but they do not appear in the original folder.

    I accidentally put the retention policy of 30 days for the wrong file, including over 1000 deleted messages. I found the messages in the trash and returned in the original folder, but all do they not appear. I immediately made a copy of the file folder in my profile, and if I look at this file, I see the missing messages. I tried to rebuild the .msf associated file and by removing the .msf file, but the messages are not displayed. How to restore access to these messages in Thunderbird? Reconstruction of the index of global data will correct this?

    If anyone is interested, I was able to restore the missing files by editing the X-Mozilla-Status codes in the file in the folder. Bit 0 x 0008 flags every message deleted. I was able to do a search/replace global for each code containing this bit in Notepad to get Thunderbird for re - index deleted messages. Of course, you'll want to do this on a copy of the affected file and keep a backup while you make the changes, just in case. Oh and do not compact your messages until you make sure that it worked.
