Impossible to get Firefox to recognize the profile saved on the new computer.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows and I want to transfer my old profile for this installation of Firefox. I'm in Firefox 4 on my new computer and my old. I copied the xxxxxx.user of my folder AppData/Local/Mozilla/Profiles folder on my flash drive. Then I ran the Profile Manager on my new computer and created a new profile. Finally, I copied the contents of my original xxxxxx.user file in the new folder of xxxxxx.user (I do not just copy the old profile folder in the profile of the new Firefox installation, only the data folder). When I loaded Firefox, however, it seems fair that I had installed fresh and had not yet done something with it. I would really like my history on this new PC. Thank you.

AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles

This is not your profile folder, it is a secondary file that contains the cache and fast loading files and is linked in the main profile folder. You want the main is here:

AppData/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles /.

  • Equium A200: impossible to get Vista installed on the new HARD drive recovery

    Hello

    After a failure of the HD I bought a Toshiba no AF HD which is defective
    Now that I had to buy a replacement HARD drive that is a player of AF but no matter how hard I try, I can't recovery Vista Home Premium software to install

    I get an error "Windows cannot configure Windows" or something like this message.

    Pointers would be most useful.

    Thank you, Tim.

    Usually, is not a big problem to install the Toshiba Vista image using the new HARD disk.
    But I've already read in different threads that in the case of much larger hard drives the recovery procedure could not complete successfully.

    In which case you would not be able to complete the Vista installation by using the recovery disk, you can try to install the system using the Microsoft disc. In this case I recommend you take the Win 7 OS. Its much better than Vista OS.

    Hello

    I'm trying to convert Windows 2008 32 bit VM of VServer to ESXi 5.1 s. He always of errors with the message above. I tried to use VmWare Converter 5.1, 5.01 and 4.3.  4.3 using I get another (I get a "a general error has occurred: failure" when I click on the Finish button.)  I got the converter 5.1 work with s 2003 32-bit OS I had.

    Some things I've tried:

    -Changed type VM from 2008 to 2003

    -Powered the machine up, then shut down cleanly

    -Do of course, there is nothing wrong with configuration that could hang up the conversion as the map NETWORK configurations, etc.

    I have really no idea what to do at this point.  I tried all the solutions and workaround that I found through Google and nothing seems to work. Not really sure where to go from here.  Anyone out there have anything that has worked for them?

  • Had to reload operating system and applications data, now can't get firefox to recognize the profile data

    My C drive (disk solid state drive), which held my operating system and data from the app crashed. I had it replaced, updated Win 7 to win 10 and have downloaded Firefox. I was able to restore my profile from a Mozy backup data and copied in the Firefox folder. But Firefox resolutely refuses to recognize. I tried using the recovery data from an old profile, but no advantage help page. Tried to use the Manager profile, but without success. When I go to Troubleshooting Information and click on file/Show profile, it comes up with a list of files (files starting with bookmarkbackups, which however is empty, down for webapps, which has the file inside webapps.json), then the files from addons.json down through xulstore.json and the file places.sqlite is 10 240 KB Although there is something in there, but Firefox resolutely refuses to acknowledge my profile, bookmarks, etc..

    I'm out of options and ripping my hair out trying to get all my favorites, in which I have a lot of information such as the authentication of data for many favorite sites. It is frustrating that all the information seems to be there, but Firefox ignore all.

    Can anyone help?

    Such a backup is perhaps a ZIP archive containing all the files into it if it is not a real file, but only one file.

    Note is that you replace the file places.sqlite with a copy of the backup that you have to make sure to remove existing places.sqlite - shm and temporary files to SQLite places.sqlite - wal.
    Ditto for the other SQLite files that you are restoring.

    Have you checked the application.ini file in the backup?

  • Getting LR to recognize the news given IPTC?

    After shooting a large race this weekend for which I need to add numbers of runners to my photos, I've added the Photo Mechanic to programming. I also shot the JPEGs instead of raw for the sake of space. I imported the photos in LR, them organized by keyword and they renamed to LR. Then I find images JPEG in Photo Mechanic and used the field legend for bib numbers.

    When I got back to LR, the caption fields were all still empty, so I thought that I had to somehow LR aware that there are new data in there. The method I chose was metadata > reading of the metadata file. I would never have to do again for two reasons. The first is that it took five hours to update metadata about pictures of 1920 and I have another 8000 or so still to go. The second is that in addition to adding the data to the legend, he wiped out the changes I had made to the photos. Specifically, cropping, and Keywords.

    My question, finally: is there a way to tell LR simply look for new metadata and add it, without wiping stuff that's already there? And I hope that something that will take a whole day to finish?

    Thank you!

    Dane

    Short answer: no: now he's way to Merge the metadata in a conflict, but I think that you can avoid this problem by ensuring that you save your Lightroom metadata changes in your files before making changes more in photomechanical.

    Have you noticed if the key words that you added first in Lightroom appeared in photomechanical while you add captions? The corollary to metadata > read metadata from file command you used after your photomechanical changes corresponds to metadata > save metadata to file option. Have you used this command before making the changes in Photo Mechanic? The keyboard shortcut for save the metadata in the file is command + S (or CTRL + S in Windows).

    Note that for JPEG, TIFF and PSD files (and by default for the DNG), metadata are written inside files and not in the sidecar files. Documentation should probably be updated to clarify.

    If you want metadata to back and forth between Lightroom and photomechanical (or bridge and practically all other apps besides), you must use the canonical container for your metadata file. By default, Lightroom saves the metadata changes that make you only database of your catalog until you tell him to write these changes to your files. There are a few things you can do to make this a little easier workflow type.

    1. in the settings of the catalogue Lr choose "Automatically write changes into XMP" in the metadata catalog options section. This tells Lightroom to update the metadata in the files automatically when you make changes such as adding words keys, cropping, rating, etc.

    2. in the library view Options (view > View Options... menu item or command + J), turn on the cell icons "unsaved metadata". This makes Lightroom displays an icon 'arrow down' in the upper right corner of the cell. See, below, that the cell has not saved, metadata icon circled in yellow for emphasis...

    3. understand the other status icons of the metadata that may appear in the cell. First of all, the external change icon, which is the opposite of the unsaved metadata, the up arrow icon, shown below with its ToolTip. This icon should appear if you changed the metadata in photomechanical after that you have saved in your file changes that you've made in Lightroom.

    Finally, the warning icon. This icon will appear if you change the metadata in the file with photomechanical but forgot to save your changes to Lightroom in the first file.

    You are right that it is impossible to Merge the two conflicting sets of metadata: what is in the file now instead of Lightroom last known to the State of the metadata until you do the photomechanical mounting. Must choose the one that you want.

    If you follow the workflow to save changes to Lightroom for file, then the photomechanical changes, and then read the changes back into Lightroom, I don't think that you will lose the changes in Lightroom. Make sure you do not see the icon of unregistered in Lr metadata before going to the photomechanical, make sure you see the photomechanical Lightroom evolution and look for the warning icons when you return to Lightroom. If you follow the workflow I suggested and still loose metadata, let us know.

    Finally - why did you choose to enter captions in photomechanical instead of just into Lightroom? I'm curious. Have you tried the option to display metadata 'Great legend', it could bring faster captions for you into Lightroom.

  • Have CS6 installed on Windows Vista, need to install the new computer of Windows 8

    The disc does not start the installation program. If I manually start the installation program, it requires a serial number. When I entered the serial number, he asked that the associated product and CS6 is not displayed in the drop-down option. (Extended CS6 is indicated, but not cs6).

    How can I get CS6 install on the new computer in Windows 8?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community!

    It seems that you bought an improved cs6 serial number and asked for an earlier version.

    You have a previous version of CS5.5 or CS5?

  • How to get Firefox to ignore the status of liaison visits when printing?

    How to get Firefox to ignore the status of liaison visits when printing?

    When I print something, visited links are a different color than unvisited links.
    Is there a way to make the color even when printing?
    (without changing the story, or how things look on the screen)

    If there isn't a way to do that, how about this by adding as a feature?

    One way to do would be to create style rules customized for the printed output that hardcode the link colors for all of the printed output. Firefox supports two ways to proceed: a file userContent.css that you create in the folder settings, and a custom stylesheet applied using the Stylish extension.

    However, 'one size fits all' could lead to unreadable results or ugly on some pages. If an add-on that can do adaptive way would be better. I do not know if someone has created a.

    For sites that do not require a login and that are not personalized, you could launch the page in a private window (right click on the link > open in a new private window or copy the URL and then Ctrl + Shift + p, then paste it in the address bar and enter). Because private windows have their own history, the print should not reflect the history of your regular windows.

  • How to get Firefox to check the compatibility of the addon first, then ask me if I want to continue the update of Firefox?

    How to get Firefox to check the compatibility of the add-on first, then ask me if I want to continue the update of Firefox? The update process currently only told me that an add-on has been disable after you apply the update to Firefox. Options > Advanced Options > switch to the update tab, "Warn me if this turns off one of my modules," doesn't seem to work.

    delores51

    This is an add-on that does this.

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/

    More specifically, what modules are always appear as incompatible after a Firefox updated? Firefox 10, extensions that are made properly shouldn't be a problem, with a few exceptions.

    Extension that contains a binary code must be compiled for each new version of Firefox. These modules are usually installed by applications on security Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, etc..

  • Impossible to get Firefox to remember passwords

    Recently, I had a total crash. Reference Dell should replace the entire machine. On the older machine I was running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit. Now I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. On the older machine Firefox asked if I wanted to that it to remember the password. On the new machine that does not happen. "Remember passwords for Sites" is turned on. I'm not running in private browsing mode. I had to give up Firefox and go back to IE. Is not a happy choice.

    Have you moved all the files from the old computer to the new computer or did you start with a new Firefox profile?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    In the Firefox profile folder, rename the files key3db and signons.sqlite.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.
