• After doing a restore of the system under XP, today lost favorites and documents files

  I did a system restore point a week earlier. Now all my favorites, documents etc. are missing. When I try to make records, I am told that they already exist. I can find them somewhere? I tried, without success.

  Enter %UserProfile% in the box run from the start menu, you can see your files?

• Unable to login to my account to retrieve lost favorites.

  Hi, I recently had a hard drive crash so remove all my firefox bookmarks.

  I used fireox synchronization previously via the iphone app and I was wondering if there is any way to recover them? I assumed having used firefox sync via iphone app, that I should have put an account, but when I try login / retrieve password / recover the id I get no email (probably there is no log of my account).

  Clever ways to recover bookmarks or should I let go and move...

  Thanks in advance.

  It depends on. If you sync connected to the desktop firefox on your old computer, and that you use the new version of firefox sync (which was published in April 2014) on this computer, then you should be able to reconnect. Otherwise, it is unfortunately not possible.

  Instructions for the backup of your bookmarks in Chrome:

  I suggest that you create a Windows Easy Transfer. File MIG favorite Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks backup in addition to other settings and personal since files you will be reinstalled.

  The great thing about Windows Easy Transfer it also backup your folder AppData correctly that stores unique settings for your applications, even customized for applications like Word dictionaries:

• Is that a catastrophic problem with BootCamp / virtual machines or something else?

  Just had a catasrophic with BootCamp problem

  My MBP was running a bit lazy, so Apple gave me a few instructions on how to fix this, including linking the installation discs for the disk utility and empty all of my folders cache under OSX.  Don't know if any of this slow and crashing was something to do with the installation of the latest update to OSX

  All of a sudden when I came back to Windows in the usual manner, the installation of windows in the VM required activation. Needless to say I had to activate windows every time I spent Bootcamp in OSX and/or then the merger to get to Windows, I had to re-activate so finally that Microsoft is beginning to think that someone is to install Windows on multiple computers and telephone activation becomes a nightmare.

  But even worse, when I managed to understand what product key that I used for bootcamp and started windows, EACH CONFIGURATION MADE OVER A YEAR or so AND EACH SOFTWARE INSTALLATION HAD DISAPPEARED, I HAD!  Without a windows installation process, I've been frame with a soft-install windows desktop with all my lost favorites. Leading to an even bigger nightmare in the re-installation of hundreds of evidence hours of software.  He had two meager records to show that I was in the right place and that everything is not contained in another folder and a file or two, but I wonder if all these installation information is contained in a cache in the directory structure Active Directory OSX? If so, is it possible to identify the files or the folders in which cache directory must be saved?

  If this is the case, I never dreamed that something to do with the windows installation was contained in the OSX directory structure?  Surely if this is the case, there should be a strong warning on it?   Admittedlythe Windows Setup WAS a bit slow before the "incident", but I doubt that there is something deeply wrong, and in any event I ran just a fully updated Adaware and Spybot so this problem is probably not a virus. (I don't use email merge)

  If this is the case, is - can anyone identify records needing backup before you empty the caches under OSX?  I don't think THAT many here would have been recovered by the take a snapshot could it? (anyway, I could not in windows without this activation)

  FWIW, the only way I can see what is a matter of merger is if by chance you're under Fusion 2.0.0, which had a fatal flaw it would partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine to take a snap, and if you did not start in native mode again you probably will not notice immediately that all changes have been written in a disc rather than the disc file physics itself and then if we deleted the virtual Boot Camp Machine partition a situation such that you described could have similar results.

  Another thing to look at is C:\Program Files in the Windows directory and see if it contains all the applications you have installed once and if she doesn't then it's quite possible that you run Windows from a default registry hive, which of course contains no information on changes since Windows has been installed but you have really not provide adequate details on what you were in fact under the leadership of Apple technology to get where you currently are, so there is not much that I can offer.

• I installed windows 7 from XP and reinstall Firefox. However, I have lost the list of favorites. Is there a way I can recover the previous the "Favorites".

  Installed Windows 7 Professional custom in the required form XP. All the favorites were lost in Firefox and had to reinstall Firefox.
  Explorers has maintained the Favorite list, I had to explore - quite different from Firefox.
  Check the programs created separately by 7 to include the XP file. Favorites, registration is not relevant to the list lost on Firefox reinstall.
  Question: Is it possible that I can get back the original Favorites listing lost when the 7 install, or is it 'gone with the wind "?

  I have not read what is happening in an installation of XP to 7. You can find this file on your system:

  C:\Windows.old
  

  If so, you can find one of these:

  • C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\your user name
  • C:\Windows.old\Users\your username

  If so, your old given Firefox might be in there. To explore more, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then search either:

  • \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profilesyour usernameC:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\
  • Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

  Bookmarks only

  Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

  The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

  • (Optional) Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
  • Restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer - to access backups on the desktop, use the command 'Choose file' menu
  • (Optional) Import bookmarks to an HTML file

  Success?

  Complete restoration

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

• Added the new computer but lost all favorite settings on old. I need new account keep different settings on both?

  My laptop (i5, running Win 7) is my workhorse computer that had all my favorite settings stored. I added a new office (AMD, Win 8.1) that will be used as a multimedia entertainment unit, but when I connected the cable to install FireFox it replaced all the settings in my laptop with the new computer. How can I keep the different settings on each computer? Must have 2 different accounts to be able to do this? I have now lost the web address for some of my sites, so it's quite painful. The "recently marked with a bookmark" folder is the main problem, because it is where I was monitoring my sites.
  Computer LAPTOP is Acer Aspire i5 & Win 7 runs the modules listed below.
  DESKTOP is a Medion with an AMD 3.8 GHz Turbo & Win 8.1, with the new version of the FF browser.
  Auto Firefox installed the same modules as the laptop, but I will change those & don't want to FF to automatically install the same on both computers. How can I separate them?

  See this - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-choose-what-types-information-sync-firefox

  You can only select favorite and maybe passwordsand uncheck other options of data type.

• My computer crashed and it restarted I asked me to refresh Firefox. I have now lost all my favorites etc. There is no 'old Firefox data' folder - help!

  Hi, you can try it for only bookmarks: first open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.

  If not and the other favorites, please see.

• Lost all my favorites after my dept IT messed with my computer.

  I came this morning and my computer was in place. My Department I.T. staff has spent an hour playing with my computer, and when I got back on my machine, it failed to Mozilla Firefox. They came back and restored to Mozilla, but they lost my favorites and replaced by very old favorites of IE. I don't use IE except when it is required for some programs, if bookmarks are extremely outdated.

  How can I return my favorites? I tried all the difficulties that I can find online, but I can't find an archived date before today. Am I missing something somewhere?

  I searched the Windows Explorer for all files with the word in them bookmarks. I found my last automated backup from Friday and was able to restore my old favorites. Main problem is trying to find with the instructions found on the Internet, my I.T. Department has disabled being able to find files in AppData. When I found the Friday backup, I copied to my desktop and was able to restore from my office.

  I have found a workaround which my I.T. team has setup to keep staff to fix their own problems.

• I don't really know what just happened, I think that I've updated and then lost all my favorites. I can't even manually, restore what do I do?

• Hi, I have a problem. I lost my favorites. I don't understand. How can I fixed this problem? Thank you.

  I lost my favorites.

  Bookmarks may appear to be lost when there is a problem with the file that contains the bookmarks in this case it's the file places.sqlite.

  You can check the database places.sqlite with this extension file.

  • Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

  If that didn't help then try to delete the spaces in the Firefox profile folder and who understand that it's possible temporary files to SQLite as places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal besieds the places.sqlite file.

  Delete all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to rebuild the database since the last backup JSON places.sqlite (bookmarks-#-#-# _xxxx_$ $.jsonlz4) in the folder bookmarkbackups of Firefox.

  If this does not work so that you can restore bookmarks from a compressed backup of .jsonlz4 in the folder bookmarkbackups.
  The xxxx in the ' bookmarks-#-#-# _xxxx_$ $.jsonlz4 ' name indicates the total number of bookmarks (records and included separators) stored in the file.
