Is it possible or safe to share certain files (i.e., bookmarks) between the 2 versions of Firefox?

I have Firefox 3.6.13 and 4.0beta10 Firefox, installed

  • in separate program hard disk files
  • with separate profiles.

I want to share, but not at the same time, the file bookmarks.sqlite with both versions, without making a copy before the opening of each version.

  1. Is it possible, or even safe lead both to the same bookmarks.sqlite file so that it can be shared, as described?
  2. If it is possible and safe, what prefs do I need set in Firefox 4.0beta10 to use the bookmarks.sqlite file in the Firefox 3.6.13 profile.

Bookmarks are stored in the places.sqlite. It is not possible to share this file between different profiles.

I have several versions of Firefox with several profiles, and I use Firefox Sync to synchronize bookmarks.

    Hello, Jim.

    First of all, I must remind you that the version of Firefox you are using right now has been deleted and is no longer supported. In addition, he has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and ease of use. You can get it for free, as always, to getfirefox.com.

    And if you lose "Identity Safe w/Norton", if it is an extension, you need to just try, or ask about it to Symantec. You can always go back to Firefox 3.0 if you want to, but who is not recommended at all, since Firefox 3.0 is not updated and is not safe to use.

    Also, make sure "Identity Safe w/Norton" (if it is an extension) If this does not work with Firefox 3.6, maybe you can force compatibility. See this. If you have any questions, just ask.

    As a side note and that is a purely personal observation, I do not think that "Identity Safe w/Norton" will improve your safety at all, if you are using Firefox 3.0. If she doesn't do anything (usually this kind of software is just marketing scams), it's slowing down your computer. Also, it is definitely and probably preferable to run Firefox 3.6 without it than to run Firefox 3.0 with it. Now and in your case, I think that the best solution is to run Firefox 3.6 with it, but I don't recommend you let keep you updated to 3.6, if it's not compatible.

    If "Identity Safe w/Norton" is not an extension, please tell me what it is.

  • Only certain files and folders appear in the homegroup

    I use Win7 Pro and I have my setup homegroup to share my videos and photos.

    I record TV on the same PC and access these recordings via DLNA on my Samsung TV (I have two different Samsung TVs). The PC is just an entry on TVs.

    The issue I'm having is that when I sail (on TV) to the folder (on the PC) which contains files, * the * files appear in this folder, some do not. For example, currently, there are 5 files in my folder of DVR, all thanks to the homegroup (I added the domain 'Shared with' in Windows Explorer so I can easily see). Of these 5 files, only 3 appear when you browse the files on the PC of the TVs. The same 3 files appear on both PC, aren't the same 2. All 5 files have been saved by the same Application, and all have the same shared parameters.

    In the past, I was able to remedy this problem by moving the files, and then back into the folder. Then they show up. Now, however, this trick does not worlk. I have run the shooter-t several times, rebooted several times etc. Nothing works anymore. I see the same thing in two TV.

    If I shared the DVR record thanks to the homegroup, why only some files appear?

    Anyone has an idea why I see this?

    Thank you

  • Why can't Norton Identity Safe compatibility be integrated into the latest versions of Firefox? IE seems not to have problems with it.

    Firefox constantly asks me to upgrade to the latest version, which is not a problem as long as the new generation is compatible with applications that I serve throughout and rely on every day. I use the 40.0.3 version and it wants me to update to 41.0.2. If the Norton Identity Safe toolbar work with my current version of Firefox, what is the compatibility issue with a newer version of Firefox? IE does not appear to have this problem of update... which makes me consider the switch back to IE as my default browser. I rely on the Identity Safe to take care of my connection problems, and there is no need to deal with problems of incompatibility. I know I'm not alone in finding this aggravation with updates. (I use Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit).

    Sorry, this is a change in the types of code Add - ons are allowed to include. It was supposed to change in Firefox 40, but at the request of vendors such as Symantec, it was postponed to 41 of Firefox. I don't think this change will flip over. Norton is working on a new version, but I understand that it takes longer than expected.

    Here's what I suggest for users who need Norton password security features:

    Instead of freezing your Firefox on a non secure version, consider using the Extended Support Release (ESR). It is designed for businesses that require a cycle time longer between changes to the features, but anyone can use it. ESR is currently based on Firefox 38. It will get updates of security over the coming months, but not to get new features, so changes in Firefox 41 concerning the compatibility of the add-on will not be out for a good time.

    Norton is likely to continue to support the ESR until the new toolbar update is finished, maybe next month. After that, I don't know what they will do because normally they don't take over a small range of versions.

    If you decide to try it, here's how I suggest to install:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.3.0esr of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) simply rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Fx41
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\Fx41
    

    (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Success?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \Fx41\Plugins
    • \Fx41\browser\plugins

  • I use Norton 360 and have Identity Safe. I'll still be able to log in even with the new version of Firefox?

    Previous updates were not compatible with Norton 360, IE, I do not have the visible Norton toolbar. When I connect to identify safe it automatically fills my different passwords. Without the toolbar, which makes it difficult.

    Norton had updates that are available on the same day as Firefox 5, 6 and 7 were released.

    A Norton for Firefox 7.0 compatibility fix is available from 27/09/2011.

  • IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

    We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

    Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

    Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

    So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

    An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

  • Try to open certain files, get "Access denied" on the owner user account

    Windows 7 computer lists me (Walt) as has permission to read/write to certain folders & files.  It also lists system and owner as having this authoirity.  It worries me that Walt and owner are indicated separately, when they actually have to be the same entity, but maybe it's normal.  Anyway, Win 7 won't let me open certain folders such as Documents & settings fokder ("Access denied" message).  How can I fix it?  I wouldn't 'Access denied' to all the folders or files on my own computer.

    Hi, Walt

    Many of default folders that didn't exist not in Windows XP have had changes of name starting with Windows Vista.

    With the icon of the shortcut folders are symlinks or junctions (AKA: flexible links or Points). They are there for compatibility with older programs that are hard coded to look for these old folder names when the former program is installed.

    These files have special properties that take the old Installer to the new location in Windows 7. This allows the program to install and works under Windows 7, seamlessly.

    A good example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. This file has been used in previous versions (XP) to store all the files of the users. When an older program that was written for XP is installed, the junction called Documents and Settings will be redirect this installer to the new location in Windows 7, which is the folder C:\Users.

    Because they are very important to the operation of Windows 7, they have all of the properties, everyone = access is denied.

    A junction can be used as a normal file, they contain all the files or data. If security for a junction properties are changed, this can cause a long list of very difficult problems, including the need to reinstall the operating system to recover.

    There are a lot of these flexible connections in Windows 7.

    Windows has supported the use of hubs for a long time, but they were not used extensively until Windows Vista.

    It is recommended that the user does not change the properties of these files, as this may cause some programs stop working or other behavior that can lead to more serious problems.

    Here is a link with more information.

  • Is it possible to add two strokes to text with a filling between the two to make an edge effect?

    I've been playing in Illustrator specifically with the menu appearance with strokes and fills. I would like to do something more complex. I posted a this kind of idea of what I want to screenshot. Instead of add simply several traces, I want to have say two white lines with the filling under the same color of the background color is.

    I would do this with strokes or fills? Is there a certain order, that they must be in my appearance Panel?

  • Is it possible to rotate the 2 versions of Firefox on a machine at the same time? and how?

    I run a workstation
    Lubuntu, 12.04
    I ask this because Firefox is unable to upload photos on ebay when new versions are available.
    This was true of the versions 22 and 23.
    So I manually set and use Firefox 21 because it works.

    You need to add the - No.-line switch remote control to start the (second) version of Firefox that you only want to use occasionally.

    The - No.-switch cache of the browser, so it cannot be detected and you can not open an external link in a browser has started this way, don't use only not this switch to start the default browser or profile.

    This switch work from the same version of Firefox with a separate profile and begin another version of Firefox with its own profile.

    Without this switch, the startup code Firefox detects that an instance of Firefox is already open end opens a new window in this forum, and you will not be able to start another version of Firefox.

  • Is it possible to stop continually prompting me to Upgrade to the latest version of Firefox?

  • Once I downloaded the new version of firefox, it flashes that it cannot complete because I have no privileges to certain things in the new version. Can you explain this?

    I get throughout the download process and move it in my applications. He then asks me if I want to replace the old version with the new. When I click on replace, a new window appears with the fact that my computer does not have privileges for the operations so I can not complete the process. Well, that really gets me, is that it appears always say that I need to download the new version. I don't know what to do.

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.
