I forgot to backup bookmarks, restore them where

I uninstalled Firefox, then re-installed, but I forgot to backup bookmarks - in fact I forgot to backup everthing. But when I uninstalled, I did NOT check the option "Remove my Firefox personal data", then after I re-installed, all my passwords, the previous settings. Adds-ons are there except bookmarks.

I couldn't save my favorites, but it is there anywhere my personal data including bookmarks are stored?

You have a folder bookmarkbackups with backups inside JSON?

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

  • I forgot to backup Outlook Express! However, the .dbx files are all in the data folder of Application that I have back up! How can I see what is in them to import to my chosen e-mail program?

    I've updated computer laptop of my client from Windows XP to 7.  I forgot to backup Outlook Express!  However, the .dbx files are all in the data folder of Application that I have back up!  How can I see what is in them to import to my chosen e-mail program?

    This is how you would normally import into Windows Live Mail. If all goes well it will give you enough of a jump start.
     
     
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

  • How to restore items where my images are returned in the top left corner when it is open, and they have a "mesh" around them? Something to reset elements so that the image appears in the center of the box... I can't have more than 1 in. image

    How to restore items where my images are returned in the top left corner when it is open, and they have a "mesh" around them? Something to reset elements so that the image appears in the center of the box... I can't have more than 1 image open at the same time to work on. I e I can't pass a layer on the image to the other.

    OK - I got out my trusty Photoshop Elements 10 - The Missing Manual and figured it out. What I was trying to describe, it was how to make images with 'tab' images 'floating '? This has somehow reset without my knowledge. What you need to do to get your images 'Floating' back is to click on "EDIT" in your editor - at the bottom of the drop-down list hover your cursor to "GÉNÉRAL" and click on - at the bottom of the drop-down list, click in the bottom left box 'ALLOW FLOATING DOCUMENTS IN FULL EDIT MODE' - and then click OK.

    That solved my problem!

  • I made three new folders and put bookmarks in them. the next time I open bookmarks, none of these works was saved / fact. What happened to my new folders?

    I have created folders and put a number of bookmarks. the next time I went to Favorites, none of my work was saved, I was back as it was before, nothing does not get lost, but has nothing. Why my files not be saved?

    Hello

    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be useful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To retrieve them, follow the instructions below.

    1. Use one of the following methods to open the bookmarks library window:

      • Firefox 29 and above: Click the Bookmarks button

        then select show all bookmarks.

      • Previous versions of Firefox: Click the Firefox button and click on bookmarks. (If you do not have a Firefox button, click on the Bookmarks button

        or the menu of bookmarks and select show all bookmarks.)

    2. At the top of the library window, click on import and backup , and then select restore.
    3. Click on the date of the backup of bookmarks you want to recover.
    4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
    5. Your bookmarks in the selected date should now be restored.

    For more information, see the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer . For alternatives, see the article of recover lost or missing bookmarks .

  • I compacted my messages. Messages from 17/01/2012 to 01/04/2012 are not in my Inbox and I didn't remove them where are?

    Out Look express

    I compacted my messages. Messages from 17/01/2012 to 01/04/2012 are not in my Inbox and I didn't remove them where are?
    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     
    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
     
    And backup often.

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.

  • Backup and restore - Windows 7

    Apology, long story - cannot shorten it, otherwise I'll think I forgot something.

    I just rebuilt my PC, reinstalled Win 7 on a SSD and restored everything (or so I thought) all my data on a separate HARD disk.

    When I look at the data I find loads of it is missing. I'm afraid I don't know the reason but want someone more competent than me confirm my fears, or better yet, tell me differently!

    Before getting the SSD, I got a 1 TB disk partitioned in C: for windows and programs, as well as the d: for data. The data were vast dating back to the years whose number of Paperport files.  There's always a curiosity, perhaps caused by transfer of data between several computers and HARD drives older over the years, I could never "see" all of my My Documents Paperport files, but only by going to desktop (or Windows Explorer) and open D: > users and then my user name. will in this case showed my a whole much fuller of the files and folders to go through My Documents. I don't think it was to do with me do not include them in the library because I believe that I had added things to the library as he was transferred, but I could be wrong.

    I think that it is possible that I had managed to create two sets of users, possibly by copying my Windows XP user account and the game 'full' of files (including all my Paperport documents) was not really visible to my 'real' user account in Windows 7.

    I always kept backups (including Images of the system) using Windows backup on the external (USB) 1 TB HARD drive. (G)

    I created originally the SSD by cloning my C: partition to the new SSD. (I've always built my own PC and Windows 7 on the HARD drive was an OEM installation and I had no right, then disks). It worked well, but I've always had a message on startup asking to choose the "Recovered" version I wanted to start. (It is possible that during cloning, I managed to install windows twice).

    I finally decided to put things away to the top (and I had gotten my Win 7 discs at hand). I did a complete (so I thought) backup of my C: and D: drives on a brand new 1 TB HDD internal (e) I had installed as the old USB has been slow (and complete) in case anything went wrong. I had installed a new, pure on the SSD and then (stupidly in retrospect) re-partitioned disk HARD original 1 TB in a single partition D: and "restored" the data from the new E: drive on the re-partitioned D: drive and put all Windows sites to point to the drive D: for My Documents etc. That's when I found that all the stuff that I previously had access via the workstation > users > Stuart was missing. (Why oh why didn't I just use the new E:drive as the data Windows drive and copy the stuff up drive D: when I saw all this and work!)

    OK I though all is not lost - I have the original backup to disk USB g: so I restored from there. Same no result - no files Paperport, nothing of what I used to have access via my computer > users > Stuart.

    So no data only backup Windows 'official' user account backup and ignore anything else on the D: drive? Was I wrong my backups? Are my data hidden somewhere that maybe a full restore of the system of the E:drive be recovered? I don't think, but I hope.

    Advice, suggestions, commiserations welcome.

  • Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

    My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

    Hi Sally,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

    1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
    2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
    3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

    There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

    Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

    Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

    Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

    To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

    (a) click Start.

    (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

    (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

    Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

    Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

    Click here to launch the Fixit.

    Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

    See: , disable the anti-virus software

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    I was wondering is there a tool that can save my favorites on the SD card?

    It is not a simple way to backup/restore bookmarks to the SD in Firefox 4 for Android. To backup and restore bookmarks in Firefox 4, the easiest method is to use Firefox Sync. Someone can also write an add-on that offers a way to save on the SD card.

    If you move the Firefox application to the SD card (in the 'Applications' on the application of the Android settings section) and then run, and then your whole profile will be moved to the SD card. You can then use your computer to back up files in the "bookmarkbackups" folder in your profile.

  • Can I download Windows XP Backup and Restore Wizard?

    When I bought my computer I did not receive the Windows XP disks.  I want to make a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive, as opposed to the individual file backup.  All the help files I've found say to insert the XP disc.  Then I found the Backup Wizard online and install it directly to my computer?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will need to install the XP Backup utility yourself and here are some instructions on how to do it.

    If you are not using XP Home and XP backup is to give you some grief, try to describe the issue in more detail.

    The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

    \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

    Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

    Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

    Here is another article that explains how to:

    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
    http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

    If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

    If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

    There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

    A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

    With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

    They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

    It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

    Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

    Here are a few products that PML has proposed may be attractive (use Google to find them):

    Acronis
    Macrium Reflect
    Paragon backup and restore
