Hello there, BluSky!

Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! I know how it is important to be able to restore the files to the Machine of time as well. Read this article on how to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. More precisely:

Restore from a Time Machine backup

Restore specific files:

  1. Enter in Time Machine, choose the Time Machine menu , or click on the Time Machine in the Dock.
  2. Find files to restore:
    • Use the timeline on the edge of the screen to see your Time Machine backup files, as they were at this date and time. The timeline may also include a snapshots the.
    • Use of the screen and down arrows to reach the last time the content of the window changes. You can also use the search field in a window to find a file and then move through time, well that centered on the changes to this file.
    • Select a file, then press the SPACEBAR to preview the file and make sure it is the one you want.
  3. Click on restore to restore the selected file, or Ctrl-click the file for other options.

These steps will allow you to restore Firefox from a specific snapshot.

    I'm sorry. Sync is not really designed as a backup media that you were trying to use to. It is not intended to be a 'cloud' storage. Its purpose is to keep Firefox bookmarks synchronized between several Firefox installations or profiles – so all your bookmarks are the same on each device / profile.

  • How to restore the bookmarks after an emergency backup who left only the bare remnants files of Mozilla?

    Stats: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system. Currently using Firefox 22.0.

    Details: Before that, I had an outdated version of Firefox are installed which I do not know which one it was. It may be 2-3 versions before version 22.0. I had a few hundred Favorites on Firefox when my computer became suddenly blue screen and I quickly restored it using emergency backup software that is built with the computer. It basically restored the computer while safeguarding * MOST * files from the previous installation.

    Fast forward, I went to see if I could pick my favorites, but only left value files were in the APPDATA roaming and APPDATA local files. This is the profile folders, but there is virtually nothing in it that can be opened or used. As records skeletons without meat. There are thumbnails of Web sites previous that I visited on the last installation, and that has been about it.

    I tried to see if I could copy the old empty profiles folder in an attempt to use the Profile Manager and paste it into the new installation of Firefox, but I couldn't open the Profile Manager.

    I read the articles that have been recommended by the website so feel free to submit your questions and assistance. Anything help! I have re-learned a useful lesson, always save your bookmarks!

    How can I return my favorites?

    Oh not at all, it's my fault for not not being prepared. It's a good lesson to learn to always save files especially with huge storage of our days. Back in the old days, they would use the floppy drives that were considered the height of storage technology!

    No, I have never had an account to sync with Firefox but will have to keep in mind for future cases of lost bookmarks. However, what was lost is found again! One way or another!

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    Hi Gary,

    Will you continue to use computers or are you get rid of one of them? If you want to get rid of one, you should take a look at backup and restore Firefox profiles information. It will show you how to backup everything in Firefox then you can restore on your new computer.

    If you have decided to keep both computers and their use, I'd take a glance at Firefox Sync. It allows you to share your data safely on your computers and keeps them synchronized.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Hyrum,

    You should take a look at article of knowledge Update Firefox to the latest version. There is much good information in there and some troubleshooting as well operations.

    If this does not work, you might want to try to install a new copy of Firefox:

    http://www.Mozilla.org/firefox/new/

    I suggest that you first back up your personal data and bookmarks, just in case. You can find the details in the article back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Hope this helps!
