I installed windows 7 from XP and reinstall Firefox. However, I have lost the list of favorites. Is there a way I can recover the previous the "Favorites".
Installed Windows 7 Professional custom in the required form XP. All the favorites were lost in Firefox and had to reinstall Firefox.
Explorers has maintained the Favorite list, I had to explore - quite different from Firefox.
Check the programs created separately by 7 to include the XP file. Favorites, registration is not relevant to the list lost on Firefox reinstall.
Question: Is it possible that I can get back the original Favorites listing lost when the 7 install, or is it 'gone with the wind "?
I have not read what is happening in an installation of XP to 7. You can find this file on your system:
C:\Windows.old
If so, you can find one of these:
- C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\your user name
- C:\Windows.old\Users\your username
If so, your old given Firefox might be in there. To explore more, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files
Then search either:
- \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profilesyour usernameC:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\
- Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\
Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.
Bookmarks only
Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.
The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:
- Restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer - to access backups on the desktop, use the command 'Choose file' menu
- (Optional) Import bookmarks to an HTML file
Success?
Complete restoration
This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

Original title: 10 free for Vista Windows?
Hello
I know that Windows 10 will be a free Windows 7 upgrade or 8/8.1 for the first year. I run Vista Ultimate, and I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 as well. I'm not interested in upgrading my Vista installation - it's almost 10 years and it's time to start over. I'll be able to install Windows 10 from scratch and use my Vista license to activate Windows 10? I totally understand don't want not to support an upgrade of a system of directly to 10 Microsoft Windows Vista, but Vista licenses will be able to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 licenses? I have not found information on it online. Everything speaks to us (ameioration) for Windows 7/8/8.1 for Windows 10. It would be a shame for Microsoft to extend an olive branch to some legitimate users of Windows and others do not.
Thank you

Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express e-mail account. I downloaded Windows Live Mail and don't like it at all. I can't understand how to add a new contact.
You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.

All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile. Any ideas, anyone?
So it's not a logins.json file?
I see a signons3.txt file and a file signons.sqlite older, if you can try to see if you can import passwords stored in this file.
You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:
- reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
- Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder
When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true.
You have passwords that are imported in the password manager, unless there were errors or signons.sqlite signons3.txt.You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

Thank you.

The answer is no.

Try installing Windows 7 from XP and keep having this error message before choosing my instalation method, Windows not able to retrieve information about the disks on this computer.
Because the migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires a clean install anyway, might as well you are backing up your important files and settings using Windows Easy Transfer and do a custom clean install by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.
