I have Firefox version 34.0.5. All my favorites are gone and I can't add new bookmarks. The 'library' is empty. Help!
Tried to restore a bookmarks file (I have a dozen), but I get the message "failed to process the backup file". By clicking on the 'star' to add a new bookmark seems to work until I click "Show all bookmarks" which reveals a still empty library. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

I can't add new bookmarks all of a sudden. Always occurs in safe mode
I can add new bookmarks are no longer. The box will not be displayed on all Web sites, but is displayed on the yahoo homepage. I tried to disable a material option as suggested on mozilla troubleshooting guide located under options > tab advanced no chance... issue always happens in safe mode and I tried to reset my firefox settings with no luck.
I forgot this option (when you use the full menu bar, this icon of the menu is hidden). So normally the White Star in the address bar icon turns yellow and a grave opens and allows you to change the bookmark (or cancel).
I'm surprised that it works on one web page, but not others. Since you have already reset Firefox, two things come to mind:
(1) install Firefox on itself to replace all the damaged program files. You can download the installer from: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop
(2) work through the fixes in this article: cannot add, change, or bookmark - how to fix.

The 'Inbox' folder double originally was a replica of the original, even if both have the same name, so I couldn't tell which was the original and which was the double. New mail has been only appear in one of them, so I have deleted all the mail in the other. Things seem to work fine, but I have still two folders named "Inbox". One of them is empty, but it can always be removed.
You can delete the Inbox folder that does not receive messages more in the file system.
First, find the folder in your profile.
AppMenu button - help - troubleshooting - profile directory - Open Directory information
Your profile directory opens in Windows Explorer.
Close Thunderbird.
Find the account and directory with the two files from the Inbox in the file system, generally below "Mail" or ImapMail', depending on your account type.
Must be multiple files with the box in his name. Messaging files are those without file extension, so you can ignore *.msf files.
Determine what is your current Inbox file, for example based on date and/or the content. Messaging files are text files that can be opened with a text editor.
Delete the one that you want to get rid of and restart Thunderbird.
It's probably a good idea to create a full profile backup before you start playing with it.

History is not being recorded, either, but I still have my downloads. How can I find my favorites? I've never saved. Thank you.
One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

second copy of windows 7 has been installed. How can I retrieve my files from the old copy of windows 7
That depends on the options you chose when you made the installation. If you chose to keep your old files, you can view the folder c:\windows.old . If you opted to install on another partition, you can retrieve the files from the old partition. Otherwise, you would have to have supported your computer before reinstalling.
When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from
http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.
Good luck.

Hello
When I open firefox (Note: I have firefox version 28.0 and security Karspersky 2014) I get a black screen covering the firefox window around and it looks more lika a large window in firefox. What is it?
Concerning
Jean
Huh, that's news...
You can try Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. I think that it is an extension.
- Run firefox.exe - safe-mode in the search bar in the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added new extensions recently around the time this started happening? The details of your system displays the following:
- Adobe Acrobat - create PDF 1.2 ([email protected])
- Anti-banner 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
- Dangerous sites 14.0.0.4917 blocker ([email protected])
- Kaspersky URL Advisor 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
- Troubleshooting 1. 1a ([email protected]) it comes by default, so this isn't the problem.

I have a problem. dose of Instant Messaging window Yahoo doesn't seem to me in yahoomail? I have Firefox version 9.0.1
IE display this window for me
I have the latest version of flash player
I hope you can help me.Another question. Dose has a 64-bit version firefox?
Alireza salvation,
It looks like a known issue reported here:
https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround solution posted, but I have not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
- Go to the Yahoo Messenger Options - change the window in the tab menu and press OK.
- Then go back and switch to the small window and press OK.
Once the bug is resolved formally, you could try to run every night or Aurora build to use the hotfix at the beginning.
Hope this helps!

Keep pressing F8 during startup, and then start Windows in Repair Mode. When there, use system restore to set Windows to a point when it was still working.
When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.
Tanks for help getting Firefox working properly again
JimDo not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.
- Tools > Options > Privacy: history: [X] clear history of Firefox closing > settings
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/clear+recent+history
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

I have been using the Robinhood app for stock trading. Today, it is very buggy, AND I can't find it in the app store! Everyone knows about this problem?
If you can't find it in the app store that he may have been drawing.
Did you check all aspects of the app store? For example, there are a few applications iPhone or iPad only, and so that they could be installed on another device still appear in only part of the store (before it became a universal app, I could install instagram on my iPad, but it was listed as an iPhone app appeared only in this part of the store)
Did you google the app to find the page of the developer to see if there is any news there?
