I exported my favorites to do a clean install, but now my exported file is nothing else than to the text pages. How can I recover my favorites?
I backed up my firefox bookmars and the file that came out is not specific file type. Even in the properties, he said only: "file type: file.
So now I'm trying to restore my favorites, but I can't open this file. If I try to open the file itself with firefox or another browser, by the way, I get long pages of text. It does not contain my favorites, but it is really hard to read. What can I do to fix this?
This is a JSON backup.
You must rename the file and add a .json (lowercase) extension to make him recognize the file as a JSON of Firefox backup.
- Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore > choose file

Note that restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks.

You can check if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift/Options key.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.
You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?
Sorry you have coming.
See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.
The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

How can I recover my old favorites list after restoring my computer?
I have a netbook Dell Wireless. I had a problem of malworm and had to restore my computer to an earlier date. Everything worked, however, my list of favorites is no longer there (it was very long and very valuable for me). How can I recover my favorites who have been there? I was told that I do not lose anything when I had to restore. Help!
Sometimes, a new folder is created when the registry is restored and the new folder is empty.
Therefore, perhaps original folder still on the drive in which case you can copy its contents and paste them into the new Favorites folder is empty...
would it be possible that the old folder with your Favorites is next to the new empty folder.
try to do a "search" for "Favorites".

My computer has virus of the FBI, I wiped it is clean but now it cannot connect to intermet because it can't find the network driver how can I find it?
Since you have formatted the PC and reinstalled Windows, your question will be handled better in the hardware forum space and drivers for Windows 7, so I'll move it there.
Apparently, you need to install the driver of your PC network. If you used the CD to restore the PC manufacturer that should have been included, but it may be on a 2nd CD with drivers and programs.
If not, the first thing to do is contact the PC manufacturer to see if they have a driver available for download. If the PC has a wireless network card and wired, perhaps one has been configured, but not the other and you try to use the not yet detected and installed.

Can someone advise me something in Lightroom please CC. When I export files once after you have finished the adjustments etc. and I click 'Save with the previous' - how to find where it was recorded, if I forgot the last folder saved to?

When I export a PDF from Indesign CS6 (PDF1A), the first page of the document is blank. Why?
Do not fix PDF 1A errors?
Here is my screenshot of indesign and acrobat. The first page is empty, the second page is not. Why only the first page?
Any help is very appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Adobe strongly recommends use of PDF/X-4, which retains direct management transparency and color all the way to the INVESTIGATION period.
PDF/X-1a is indeed antiquated for any content that uses anything other than CMYK + spot color or transparency.
All modern PDF workflow software supports PDF/X-4. If you are printing to a PostScript RIP, Acrobat Pro (version X and XI) can print PDF/X-4 of tears (or printers) pretty well.

Recently, I had a fatal crash of my Windows XP Pro system. I clean installed Vista (would not allow an upgrade installation), and it offers all my settings and programs in a windows.old folder. I wish I could recover my passwords stored (even if I have to go manually) and my favorites for Firefox. I was running version 4 at the time of the accident of the o/s. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Just as I expected. Before you follow my instructions, you may need to change your folder options to show hidden files. Now go to:
C:/Windows.old/documents and Settings / < user on XP name > / Application Data
And copy the text to the Mozilla folder for
C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla
If the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it.
Now in C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings / < user name on XP > / Local Settings/Application Data
And copy the text within the Mozilla folder in
C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Local/Mozilla
Yet once, if the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it and rename it to Mozilla.
I hope this helps!

How can I recover my favorites from the previous version of Firefox?

Do you still have backups of bookmark in the bookmarkbackups folder?

You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop in the case where you have refreshed Firefox and created a new profile?
You can retrieve the form of the data of the 'Old Firefox Data' folder, but be careful.
You can copy files like these in your current Firefox profile folder.
- bookmarks/history: backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and perhaps places.sqlite, if you really need the history
- other SQLite files cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins. JSON and signons3.txt (decryption key) of the saved passwords in password manager
- Permissions.SQLite and, possibly, content - prefs.sqlite permissions and Site preferences
- cert8. DB for stored intermediate certificates (Certificate Manager)
- sessionstore.js to open and pinned tabs and tab groups
- Persdict.dat for the words that you added to the spelling dictionary
Note that "Reset/Refresh" creates a new default profile with a time stamp to identify it and trying to retrieve settings such as Favorites and history and history and cookies and passwords, data of automatic filling of the old profile, but you lose data such as the installed extensions and other customizations.
The current profile folder will be moved to the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop. -

I updated Firefox today, and my list of previous bookmark has disappeared. I tried to use the "import and backup" tab and follow the instructions in the Firefox page to backup and restore my previous favorites. Unfortunately, nothing has happened. Could you please help me with possible advice/guidance on how to solve this problem? This is the second time that, always happens when Firefox receives updates...
You seem to be using the Developer edition / Aurora pre-release version, which creates a new profile after installation or update on the Aurora channel. Open Options > general and check or uncheck the box at the top that says allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time. Once you restart [as to] you will 'switch' on the other profile, where your bookmarks are - If all goes well.
If you don't like "updates", why do you use a version alpha-2 who receives an update every day?
