Just updated FireFox, where are my FAVORITES?
I (normally 68 Bookmarks) not including the bookmark toolbar. I've just updated to the whatever the version of Firefox, the same as I have several times in the past. I think I started with Firefox 9. I've never had a problem, never had to save stuff to a file before updating. But this time he has not brought over all the bookmarks, passwords... As a new first time install without warnings, or instructions. I got the pop up for update of Firefox, so I clicked on the button update now as always for Firefox. It is the only browser I use to import my stuff lost cannot be done. I need to go back to the one I had that worked perfectly. Please I don't have a perfect memory to keep track of website addresses, why I bought a computer. so, I would not. I mean if you're going to wipe the 10 years of things saved you could at least put a warning on the stupid pop-up.
Are there backups .jsonlz4 compressed in the bookmarkbackups folder in the profile folder?
Do you have you refresh (reset) Firefox for your update and created a new profile?
This could happen if Firefox has reported that it began slowly.
When you refresh/reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported.
The current profile folder will be moved to "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.
It is possible to retrieve data from the "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

Yes it's true. You just need to download the .exe file top of page (Firefox Setup 25.0.1.exe).
Save it to your computer, double click and you should get a wizard to guide you through the installation.

I've upgraded to FF 39.0 for 'security reasons' now my favorites are microscopic after customization.
Bookmarks are supposed to be huge, you know; AS IN A BOOK, YOU HOLD IN YOUR HANDS.
I had them on the bottom of the page but now they simply disappeared even on the toolbar 'bbokmark' I got them it YEARS ago; now, there is nothing there.
I see there's a "sidebar" taking up 1/8th of a page (and I don't see how that affect video playback) I can just manage with this massive intrusion holler at me all the time. Yes, I could not use the sidebar and I don't want, but once again the microscopic size is useless for me.
Finally FF says NOTHING about the changes that I could find that has radically changed the installation program. FF is on the definition of it as I want, now head office insists. It is impossible that this "update" for "security reasons." I consider that it is a lie. It happened too often. I lost in a perfectly reasonable way of navigation without apparent reason at all.
He finds... You have removed the bar of the addon.
Which there was no mention of when the latest "security reason" was updated.

I was power off update of Firefox for a while because I knew some of my modules aren't compatible yet, and the main reason I use firefox is because of the multitude of modules. Finally today I decided to go and let it install. As soon as he returns to the top, it's completely different from the way I had my firefox. The buttons are all moved around, each tab has two Xs to close with the back button does not work, there is no way to scroll more tags do not take on the screen and for some reason the firefox button is not collapse in the main beam.
My session has not been restored, either, which really annoyed me, because I had a very high volume of open tabs. Right now I just want to come back, because I hate what happened, but I know that's not possible.
I'm sorry to hear that you have so many questions. What version of Firefox you used before?
The problem of double title bar has been identified as a problem with the extension of the tax Mix Plus but it does not affect everyone, there is an interaction with something else (not exactly what clear although Norton Toolbar has been mentioned in a thread).
There is a new version available that you can try. If Firefox is stable enough to do...
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons > ' gear' icon > check updates
If your beta version does not update, you can try to install from the Add-ons site.
More generally, can I suggest disabling the extensions as much as you can live without for 24 hours and gradually reactivate? This should help isolate the interactions between them. As you know, you can do so here:
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category
Finally, about your old session, if you have not closed Firefox, you could find a sessionstore.bak file in your profile folder that contains your old session. For easy access to this file, try
Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.
Grab a copy of this file and save it somewhere outside the folder because it is overwritten when you close Firefox. Had to run, but if find you one with a suitable date, a person can help you to restore.

With earlier versions of Firefox, I got an address bar at the top of the screen where you can enter a URL. It does not appear now.
With earlier versions of Firefox, I could go back to a previous URL by clicking on a «return» arrow Similarly, I could go to a most recent URL by clicking an arrow 'forward '. I don't see the arrows.
With the latest versions of Firefox, I could click on "Favorites" at the top of the screen to see all my favorites. With the new version, I don't have a tab "Bookmarks". If I can I find it?
Thank you all.
You are welcome.
If please, return to the forum and click on the button 'Resolved' next to the answer that solved your problem. Thank you.

where are my favorites, please?
Dear Firefox Support,
A few days earlier, I was using Firefox as usual, with my favorites stored correctly in the menu bookmarks and those that I use the most in my toolbar. I spent earlier on Firefox, to find that all my favorites have disappeared. Favorite bookmarks, I had also disappeared, and favorite I had saved the sites disappeared, too, since there is no toolbar. I had recently refreshed Firefox. I got a lot of bookmarks (perhaps 100), and they are all gone. I can't access it, since Firefox has completely wiped them out.
Could anyone help me, please?
Somewhat irritated Firefox user
Dear JSCHR2000,
Thank you very much for your answer. Feel a bit sheepish now, as the right click on the menu tab certainly all come back. Thanks again,
More happy user of Firefox

BlackBerry 10 when the update fails, where are the temporary files?
Hello
My phone was about 1 GB of available and did an automatic download of the 10.3.2. When I tried installing it says that I need an additional 480 megs. I tried to use the link to date, and it failed (with a msg saying that the update has been interrupted). Then, I deleted about 1 GB of data and tried again. Always has failed, but now I find myself with only 300 megs free.
It seems that the update has eaten to the top of my storage somewhere, probably with temporary files, but I can't find them. Where can I look to see where these files are located so that they can be removed? Control of the storage of the device shows nothing out of the ordinary.
Hello
They are not in an accessible area of the user. Indeed, given the penalty, I actually recommend that go you to an auto-loader in order to avoid any corruption that chess can be introduced. I hope that you already have a backup.
Good luck!

One of my Office files contains three different Firefox configuration files created for upgrade to newer versions. These precedents may "Setup" deleted files without affecting the latest version I am running?
And the question of succession: immediately after the installation of a new version, this "Setup" file can be deleted?
A "Setup" of Firefox is not necessary once Firefox is installed. So yes, all files "setup" of Firefox can be removed.
