I just transferred my favorites of one copy of Firefox to another and all of my tags disappeared?
Using Mac OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 16.0.2. I just transferred a bookmarks.html file exported my current installation to a new copy of Firefox 22 on a new computer running OS 10.6.8. Imported bookmarks file into the new FF, moved this import of the 'imported' to the 'Menu' file and used the browser. However, when I went in to bookmark a page, I noticed all my tags and their associated bookmark links had disappeared! Quickly, I assumed that it was a 'tags' file in my original profile that I needed to copy, but I can't find one or all mention of one online. How to copy all my tags and their location of bookmark/url to my new installation?
When you use the "export" / "import", the tags are not included. Try to use the method of "backup" / "restore".
Backup Firefox bookmarks (.json file) format, contains detailed data on your bookmarks.
In the other to restore a backup Favorites file, you must copy it from your old computer to the new. You can either use the last automatic backup file, or it might be better to create a new one in a place that is easy to access rather than rummage through your application settings.
Try the procedure described in this article: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Does it work?

Can I copy my profile of one copy of Firefox to another?
I have Firefox 42 perfectly configured on a computer Windows 10. Installation of others is a mess. It's on another computer Windows 10. My user name and directories are identical on each. I don't want to debug ALL the symptoms I have now. It would be wonderful if I could completely uninstall the wrong installation and reinstall Firefox 42 fresh. So until I run it, copy my profile from the good computer on the profile on the newly installed version.
Will this work? Is that all I need to know to achieve this?
(I know that you think that this guy has just need a bit of hand-holding to clear up its problems normally. Believe me, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox four times in the last five days. Right now my address bar does not appear, my bookmarks bar is empty, my buttons previous and next are grey and don't function and if I ever fix that I will then find all the problems I've lived with since upgrading to 42.)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When you try to start Firefox, even once, I got a message saying "close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. "This issue is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried there seems to work. I started a new profile in the profile manager that gets at least upwards and the functioning, but strangely enough the Manager also told me the old (default) profile is still underway, although I can't find a way to close it. Also, I can't find the default profile in my Profile Manager. can anyone help?

== I thought that I had left Firefox and he was new.
I get the same problem from time to time. It is not a solution but I go into Task Manager (select by right clicking on an empty area of the start bar) and under the research process and, invariably, there is a 'hidden' version to use the FF. I selects & close via Task Manager and then am able to restart FF.

On Windows, start the Task Manager (other systems may have

I want to copy files from one external hard drive to another and can not?
Hello
I try to copy the photo files and video from one hard disk to another.
The donor 2 TB drive is formatted NTFS and the receiver is 1 TB OSX extended.
There are about 72 000 photos and 475 GB in size. The 56 video about 226 GB files copied with some lacks but then make drag and drop made the other files of 5 or 6.
I tried to drag and drop, but some files have been copied not. After a lot of research through what was had been transferred I found about 5,000 had not copied I then did drag and drop with each of the 20 files or if some copied OK.
The troublesome files kept suggesting that a file "already exists" and stops the process when I clicked ok.
I want to delete the NTFS drive and reformat for OS X extended and then replace them on the 2 TB drive.
What I am doing wrong? Need me a software to copy?
Select the drive in the disk, then Edit/restore utility and select your 2 TB drive in restoration since. This will probably reformat the external hard drive, erase all data.

I want to synchronize my favorites from one old cell phone to another.
I just got a new computer. I didn't know you could synchronize bookmarks between computers, so I started to create my favorites. Then I discovered you could synchronize, so I set up a sync account and tried. He transferred the bookmarks that I had started on the new computer to the former, but not the bookmarks that I had on the old to the new. What are bookmarks I want, then how I put them on the new computer as well?
Well, apparently he just took a lot longer to join the new computer. They are all here now! Thank you very much!

Using the creative cloud, I want to download some applications on one laptop, several others and the rest to another one, then download all the apps on my desktop under the safeguard. Can I do? If so, how? With the help of several programs of each, at the same time on different computers, but not the same program will be a kind of violation? (IE. Photoshop on laptop 1, Illustrator on laptop 2, fireworks on laptop 3). Thank you for your time.
No need to turn this into an academic discussion: you have two activations and that's all, which means that you can install any number of programs in any number of combinations on 2 machines and use them, but no more. Everything else is neithere legalyl nor technically possible. Read the EULA. If you need more activations, purchase another license.

How a Linux user downloads a copy of Firefox to another OS?
Mozilla.orgs automated OS detection system is too smart for his own shit well, preventing legitimate downloads to be possible (i.e. Linux user wants to download a version of Windows for a virtual computer!)
Take a look at the Page of Firefox Desktop . Clicking on 'Systems & languages' under the big green button "Download Firefox" opens the page of Download of Firefox in your language . The active channels (as well as links to Thuinderbird etc) are here: Firefox Active channels.

It seems that Firefox and all content have been deleted and then it has been reinstalled Firefox as a completely new program. My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Google Chrom) have not changed.
Everything was OK when I closed down Firefox last night about 11 pm and I left the computer on.
Glad to see his work...

Hi kabooki108,
I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.
You can also try to create a new profile.
Hope this helps!
