I did a Reset of Firefox - how can I add my 'old data firefox' back?
I did a reset of Firefox which was a mistake because it does not solve my problem.
In any case, I now have a file 'old data firefox"which include things like Ad Blocker more so how I put all these programs in Firefox yet?
When you reset Firefox and a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved on the desktop to a folder "Old data Firefox".
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.
It is possible to retrieve the data from the old profile, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

How can I recover my old data settings document files firefox bookmarks and favorites of ie8.
I need to reinstall windows xp sp2 I turned off my pc by updating the os now I ask a question after the reinstallation of the sp2 would be it possible to recover my old data settings firefox favorites bookmarks of ie8 and norton antivirus 360 documents.
You might see if this folder is located on your computer. Depending on how you installed Windows, it could be an old version of some files in pre-installation.
C:\Windows.Old\
But beyond that, there's no other place I could think that perhaps it would be after a reinstallation.
Shameless plug for the new version:
If you used Windows 8, all of your documents, files, Favorites, bookmarks are saved on your Microsoft Account so that you can use them even if you get a new computer (or reinstall an old one). -

How can I add cells containing data (text) by column
In my spreadsheet, I had a column that contains a product title. I want to add cells containing a title down on my worksheet. What formula to use for this?
Please note: some cells are empty.
Hi suus,
The COUNTA function is your friend
This table has a header row and footer line.
Formula in cell B8 footer = COUNTA (B)
From the browser to the function:
The COUNTA function returns the number of arguments that are not empty.
An invisible character such as a space is considered to be "not empty".
Kind regards
Ian.

How can I restore my old profile data for the reinstalled firefox
had a problem with the opening of firefox and he suggested that I install a new version, I did and I have an "old data firefox" file. My question is how can I reinstall the old file and all the stuff that's about it.
A 'Old Firefox Data' folder on the desktop is created when you reset Firefox.
You should be able to copy the data selected from this folder to the current Firefox profile folder.
For bookmarks that you would need to file places.sqlite or possibly restore bookmarks from a JSON backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

How can I add a password that I told firefox to forget
How can I add a password that I told firefox to forget. I can't 'change my mind' for some websites that I decided to add to the passwords.
Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

All my old tabs are missing after a crash. I chose "view my tabs, windows and last time ', like the start option. Many unwanted changes in tab management happened recently. For example when I close a tab in a window of the two tab, I see a blank screen (see picture). Preview display seems to be broken (see attachment). How can I get the old behaviour back?
After researching the issue, it seems that the problem was a problem of NoScript configuration. After restoring NoScript to the default values, the tab number disappeared.
Thanks for your help.
