• Lost all my favorites after my dept IT messed with my computer.

  I came this morning and my computer was in place. My Department I.T. staff has spent an hour playing with my computer, and when I got back on my machine, it failed to Mozilla Firefox. They came back and restored to Mozilla, but they lost my favorites and replaced by very old favorites of IE. I don't use IE except when it is required for some programs, if bookmarks are extremely outdated.

  How can I return my favorites? I tried all the difficulties that I can find online, but I can't find an archived date before today. Am I missing something somewhere?

  I searched the Windows Explorer for all files with the word in them bookmarks. I found my last automated backup from Friday and was able to restore my old favorites. Main problem is trying to find with the instructions found on the Internet, my I.T. Department has disabled being able to find files in AppData. When I found the Friday backup, I copied to my desktop and was able to restore from my office.

  I have found a workaround which my I.T. team has setup to keep staff to fix their own problems.

• I have reinstalled the OS on my computer and Firefox wouldn't let sign me in sync, I created a new account and have lost all my info previous synched - help!

  I just reinstall the operating system on my computer. I downloaded the latest version of Firefox and tried to connect to synch - I have no other devices connected outside of the computer, I just cleaned so I was unable to pair. I tried using the recovery key, but it would not allow me to continue. I tried to log in again, and then he said that my email didn't have an account. I created a new account with the same email that I used before and now none of my info (bookmarks / prefs / plugins) are here! Please help me to recover my previous Info!

  Sorry, but the action to create a new synchronization with the same account caused e-mail address your data from the server. In addition, 'coupling' and the 'Sync' button has not been used in over a year, with 28 Firefox being the last version to use the old version of Sync. Then it uses Sync on a device as a backup, something that Sync was not intended to do service

  Any chance that you have an old Time Machine backup?
