I have an old drive with my favorites Mozilla Firefox on what I need, these are Bookmarks Sidebar, to which I am referring. I searched for hours, but Pascal
I am trying to load my favorites sidebar FF on my old drive to my new computer.
Personally, I did not backup any kind of FF, but I guess that FF automatically as a result, it can load bookmarks in the sidebar on reboot.
I tell myself that these bookmarks sidebar must be stored somewhere which can be accessed and loaded on the new drive.
I can find previous sessions, but they don't have that some bookmarks saved, I have had hundreds before the computer goes dead.
I run windows 7 on the old drive to the new computer has windows 8, do not know if that makes a difference.
Really appreciate any help.
OK, thanks for all the help, I have all sussed.
I looked at my other computers and you see that the 8 .json files & 9 KB have been saved on my drive are very small and have only 10 or so brand book, they should be about 200KB.
I have no idea why they saved so small, but something did not work.
The data have been there all the time (even when he was little) but I was not aware of the size, that they should have been.
The links above are very good and useful.
I hope this helps others going down this same track.
Thanks again for all the responses, I hope that this proves to be one very informative thread for others.

Hello
If it is a recent problem, I advise to use system restore to return to a date and an hour before, when you made the changes. See the following article for the step by step procedure.
If this does not resolve the problem, you can use the system restore option Cancel to return to the current state.
Let us know the results.

have 2 hard drives with different operating systems on them
I'm upgrading. I took a hard drive from another pc. It has windows vista on it. Am using another hard drive with XP on it as a slave. But it does not recognize 2nd hard drive other than a shortcut that my friend created. I think it has to do with group policies in Vista? Or the 2 operating systems will not play nice with them? I can't reformat the drive until I get back to the top on them.
Finally, I plan to each drive to reformat, but want to back up each drive, so I can't reformat now
Do you not normally take a hard drive with an installed operating system, on a single computer and put it in another for a start of it.
You can ask yourself all sorts of problems.
Motherboard drivers are involved for each computer, they are installed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And there are rules of licensing:
If your computer is pre-installed with Vista or if it was an OEM drive, that you bought, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time..

There are a set of processes for dual-boot Vista and XP, if that's what you try to do.
You will need to follow the link below:

Why have I not wrong with games PCH on Firefox
When I play games of Publishers Clearing House Firefox guard freezing. I have to go to Chrome and then it works very well, but I don't like Chrome. Why did I go wrong with Firefox for things like that?

Can I have each tab open with my homepage as Firefox when it first open?
I want to see my home page in every tab I opened empty new tab + point. There is no option that I can find that doing this even if that's how it used to work before an update of Firefox stop what is happening.
41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.
Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):
- If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in their settings dialog boxes to select another page in the new tab.
- If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
- If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
- If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.
Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom
After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).
Open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).
New tab Override
Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:
- (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
- Blank tab = > subject: empty
- Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
- Any other page = > full URL of the page
Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.
Custom new tab
It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.
Success?

I tried to update to Mozilla Firefox and I had another icon on my desktop. Now, I have Mozilla Firefox 2 and they are both Version 41.0.2. They are both exactly the same thing when I open the. I see only one on my add/remove program location so I won't delete it because I could delete them both. Can you help me?
You can remove one of the office shortcuts if both point to the same firefox.exe in the same Firefox program folder.
You can keep the one with the correct version information where the other is an older version of Firefox.
Note that Firefox 42 will come out next week (Tuesday). -
Now I need all the updates, but the computer do not recognized I'm addicted to the internet? I don't know what to do. Please please don't tell not to get SP3, the computer can not get on the internet and this is the first version of XP in 2001 or 2002. Get SP3 is what I heard with people of any technical assistance, they do not seem to read my question completely.
You are probably missing drivers for your PC hardware. Unless you have drivers on a CD, you have a situation of the chicken egg that you will only be able to overcome by downloading on another PC and save on a USB key (for example). Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, look for support/downloads for your model. Download and run to install in this order...
- Chipset (inf)
- Ethernet (after this you will probably have internet access)
- Graphics
- Others
If you have a driver CD, use the 'autoplay' that to install the drivers.
After this, refer to this topic...
.. .so how to get SP3 and beyond.
For more assistance, we will need the brand and model of your PC/motherboard.
