Last update of developer edition has lost all my favorites and addons

I love Firefox! I use it exclusively. When I opened Aurora today (11.10.14) ALL my favorites and addons disappeared! Of course, I want back the way they were. How to achieve this?

Hi rudeann, sorry to hear that you have problems with the bookmarks. My heart stops if I see ALL of my favorites have disappeared. Fortunately, we can fix that.

I have an article in support of Firefox everything on here get these bookmarks. You have to take a look because what you do depends on how you put Firefox in place. It is if you use the normal Firefox and developer edition That's if you use just developer edition .

Take a look at the article that fits your situation and let me know what happens. Hope you find your Favorites quick return. Let me know if you have any questions or this does not work for you.

  • Firefox has lost all the tabs and bookmarks on startup.

    Computer ran out of memory, I quit firefox because he did not like it usually does, and then when I restarted, all the Favorites have disappeared, the bookmarks bar is now empty and all the Add-ons have disappeared from the top of the browser, but not the background. However, all the Add-ons are still there, but not all work (e.g. further development of Reddit). I tried to restore the bookmarks or even import chrome, but this says it fails in the first case and terminates the process, but nothing happens in the second.

    What is going on? I really don't want to switch to chrome after using firefox for more than 5 years.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • After the last update 38.0.5, I lost all my Add-ons, my skins, my homepage. I now have ads everywhere! Help

    I have just re-downloaded adblock and pop-up block etc, but they don't seem to work as I see now adds absolutely everywhere, where I was not yet aware, they would have existed.

    I see an 'old firefox data' folder has been created on my desktop, but how to restore the same Add-ons that I had this issue before? and actually, they work or they don't work with the new version of firefox?

    I am connected to sync, but modules has been unchecked, so no luck there.
    I really didn't care about skin, but please get rid of all those ads!

    I put lots of them modules adblock for facebook, you tube etc, but I don't know if they are in conflict with each other or they don't work.
    Everything before I worked a charm. I only had 2 of them and they never show me ads.
    No idea how to get them back and they work?
    Thank you very much

  • Thunderbird has lost all my accounts and settings

    I have been using T-bird for years with only the default profile. I have my personal Setup account separately 2 corporate accounts that are grouped in the local folders.

    Yesterday, when I rebooted and started the T-bird, it was as if I had never set up all the accounts. There is no folder or messages and all my accounts had disappeared.

    I checked the C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default and the files are still there. It is just that my default profile is not to use them, even if the correct folder is displayed when I go to help/troubleshooting and click on 'display the folder '.

    I suspect a main index file (prefs.js) is damaged or has been deleted, which should bind the T-bird to all other files in my profile. How to make T-bird to reconnect with my data files of this profile?

    Found my own answer, even though none of the research or the pages of support.mozilla.org were of no use either.

    Google found Disappearing mail - MozillaZine Knowledge Base led me to retrieve a profile that suddenly disappeared - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

    In this last article, I found this text

    • A quick way to say what problem you are suffering from is to look at your personal address book in Thunderbird. If it seems correct, proceed to the section corrupted or empty prefs.js . Otherwise, follow the instructions in the lost profile section.

    After going to the section corrupt prefs.js or empty , I found this is my answer:

    • Otherwise, you need to rebuild prefs.js. You can do this by creating the same accounts again in the existing profile and Thunderbird to use directories that contain always the missing mail, by this article that Recovering deleted accounts e-mail - MozillaZine Knowledge Base. Another option is to create a new profile using the Profile Manager, create the accounts again and then migrate your e-mail, address books, filters, and other related files of mail of the old profile by this article.
  • Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

    I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered. I can't find anyone else who has their record.

    Is there a way I can fix the system without the authentic installation disk files? If not, is there a way I can receive a free/good Windows installation disc market replacement of Microsoft? Also, I don't want to lose any documents on my computer in the process.

    Thanks for the help!

    Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

    As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

    C:\WINDOWS

    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

    Chkdsk /r

    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  • Windows 7 has lost all my settings and started looking for XP

    I have a new laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit). I'm about to install the software, I need for work and customize the settings. Everything worked up to now, when happened the following.

    -J' installed software (nothing special, for example (from a reliable source) existing communication software)

    -J' restarted the computer

    -All my settings for the taskbar and toolbar are lost (they disappear). The button (which is instead of the XP Start button) effectively changed to start button (looks like the XP Start button). The translucent window headers changed to those not translucent (as I'm used to XP). The bar of tasks/toolbar settings won't save any more (even if I register, they go back to an earlier version)

    How can I go back to 'Windows 7' and get my settings? What could have caused this strange behavior?

    I did this before on my own just see if I liked better. I did not so I went back to the Windows 7 look. In your case, there are a few different scenarios that can cause this.

    1. your theme has changed without your consent. -You can fix this with a right-click on your desktop and go to personalize . Change your theme to one that you have registered or by using the Windows 7 default labeled "Windows 7" theme. From there, you can simply add your images to customize your wallpaper.

    2. your Visual effect have been replaced by 'adjust for best results' .

    Open the menu 'Start' and right-click on computer . Go to Properties .

    Near the top-right corner of this window, you should see "advanced system settings" , click on it.

    Click the Advanced tab. Under performance , click settings .

    From here (depending on your graphics card), choose either ' let Windows choose what is best for my computer ' or ' Adjust to improve the appearance '.»» Click OK .

    3. Finally your graphics card driver.<->

    Is not as likely to happen by simply installing a program, but it's not of the unheard. Windows 7 will come back to that look older if somewhat your driver is corrupted and windows is still trying to allow you to use your computer. If you uninstall or damage your driver (ex installed a new graphics card) your computer can use graphics embedded gives you the possibility to use some of the nicer features of Windows 7 like the transparency and Aero Peek.

    Again, this is not as often, but if the other 2 suggestions above do not alleviate your problems try to reinstall your graphics card driver.

    http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/pages/index.aspx-> for ATI Radeon

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us-> for Nvidia

    If you are not sure of this graphic card you have click on your Start Menu , go to the search box and press Device Manager type enter. Click the arrow next to display adapters .

    A drop down menu should appear showing you graphics card. Go to one of the sites above to update or restore your drivers.

  • Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

    Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

    Yes I have FIOS Media Manager installed, but I've done since the start of Windows 7.  For the first week or so it does not start on my download restarts.  It started with this Nov 3 update from Microsoft.  I went to downloads and there were two of them; Update for Internet Explorer 8 for x 64 based and updated Windows Defender definition.

    After you install these two updates on restart FIOS M.M. was live at startup and my favorite MSN have disappeared.  I disabled FIOS M.M., but somehow, he has been activated with this download.  I went on my drive external backup and recovered the Favorites but am always intrigued by this phenomenon and how it changed my registry.

After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

  • Problem while updating the Developer Edition

    Whenever I try to update Firefox Developer Edition it restarts and it maintains in the same version, I tried safe mode (even reinstalled, but the version continues, weird, no?)

    Aurora and check-ins to get all night almost every day and, therefore, is updated each day. The version number when the channel remains the same with a2 on end for Aurora and a1 for Nightlyl. The beta channel gets say six to twelve generations for a version.

    It allows to be a construction date in useragent that would change to display date/time, it was built but was arrested because small possible problems of privacy.

    You can use on: buildconfig (lies in everything: on list) in the address bar (address), then the link of hg to see what changes have been made.
