I want to uninstall firefox and reinstall it with any of the pre-loaded bookmarks

What it says on the Tin, basically. I want to reinstall Firefox as if it was the first time I installed, it has to ask me if I want to import all the bookmarks. Is this possible or do I have to manually delete all of my favorites?

You can delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and also all JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder if you want to remove all current bookmarks.
If you want to reset all data in Firefox so that you can use the Profile Manager to delete the current profile folder and all the files it contains, and to create a new profile.
A restart of Firefox keeps again some data including bookmarks, so that wouldn't work for you.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

To make Firefox ask to import data from other browsers, you must remove the profiles.ini file, which records all present profiles, to the location of the profile of the parent folder.
You can manually import bookmarks in bookmarks (library) Manager.

    Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    Note that there is a version of Firefox 24.1.1 ESR if you want to stay on the ESR update channel.

    I stupidly downloaded Acrobat DC and now I can no longer save or print my attachments without buying a subscription which I don't want.  I want to uninstall DC and reinstall XI. The first step said to go to the creative cloud, I did not. Thank you.

    Hi sharonj83072502,

    Are you referring to DC Acrobat or Acrobat Reader DC.

    Acrobat Reader DC is a free application & Acrobat DC is a purchased app.

    To uninstall the application, do so simply in the Applications folder in the trash folder.

    Restart your Mac & if you want to install Reader 11, you can download it using this link https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ , else if it were XI Acrobat, you can download using this link Download Adobe Acrobat products. Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X

  • I'm trying to uninstall firefox and reinstall it keeps freezing, but it is not closed and so I can't reinstall it. How can I fix?

    For the last two weeks or more, firefox kept freezing, but he would always set in a minute or two. I did a scan of the computer and everything was clean and I have reduced the number of tabs, I had opened to try and speed up things, but even when I haven't had that one tab open, it would freeze. Today it froze and did not himself set even after 5 hours, and after that ive restarted my laptop. A message keeps popping up on 'a script has stopped working' and everything I press made no change (stop script or continue). Im trying to uninstall and reinstall firefox, but I can't uninstall it until the program is closed. But I can't close because it is completely frozen. How can I fix?

    Thank you in advcance.

    Usually, uninstalling and reinstalling is useful if the program files are damaged. When the question if an add-on or setting, so you don't expect to see a change. (I assume that you delete all your personal data, because that could blow your bookmarks.)

  • home network does not, want to uninstall network and reinstall.

    just need help complete steps to completely remove the existing network between 2 computers to office and then create a new network. a few simple steps broken down would be very appreciated.

    You don't "delete" a network.

    What seems to be the problem?

    See if the related assistance here .

    Or check out these standard MVP Malke tips:

    The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
    get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
    more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
    network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
    information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It looks like
    long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
    sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

    Configuration of the router.

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with
    the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista may be the
    CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
    the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
    connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
    cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
    Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
    initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
    2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
    the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
    3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
    one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable
    (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples
    given are for a Linksys router. Check the manual for your router or router
    site Web de MFTR. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a
    browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
    varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
    Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
    This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
    utility of configuration may be slightly different from mine.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
    password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Enter it again
    password to confirm and click Save settings at the bottom of
    the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again.
    Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to return in the
    configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
    Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
    suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
    You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
    as. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes have been
    successfully, click the wireless security link which is just next to the
    Wireless settings link base (where you changed your SSID). If you have a
    Newish computer, you will be able to affect the Security Mode
    WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you
    come on all the computers that are allowed to connect to the radio
    network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
    to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
    the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
    network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
    Surf.

    B. file/printer sharing of

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on file/printer
    Sharing in Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files
    and folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
    caveat in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
    (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
    Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
    Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
    accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
    to create actions where the operating system is not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
    traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
    Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
    XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
    lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
    third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
    Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
    fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
    with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
    substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
    NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
    is from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not have
    must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
    assigned to each user account may be different. accounts/passwords just
    need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE
    PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to start directly
    on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
    to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off
    Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
    directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
    directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
    See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
    files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
    locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
    for the mftr printer Web site. and download the latest drivers for the
    correct system. Install them on the target machines. The
    printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this is not
    install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.
    Some printers need to be installed as local printers, but it's outdoors

  • Can I recover bookmarks after uninstalling firefox and data of a personal nature?

    Someone in my household uninstalled firefox and personal data. This means that years of hard work, recording and filing of bookmarks disappeared. Is it possible to recover this data?

    Really, this file has been deleted (without going through the trash). Unless you have created a backup on the local media or in the cloud, your best hope is to use software that Combs your hard drive for the fragments of files 'restore' them.

    For example: http://www.piriform.com/recuva

    This should be done immediately, this space will be replaced gradually, corrupting the recovered files.

    When you find the list of recovered files, look for those whose name begins with "bookmarks".
