Mozilla has suggested reset firefox to fix the slow and now all my favorites have disappeared.
It took a while for firefox on startup when I clicked on the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggest I have reset firefox and all my bookmarks, cookies, etc. would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far, the only thing this computer recognize now is my sign-on so that I can ask this question.
Never mind. It must have just taken some time because now they are all here (weird because it took about 45 min.) Please skip this question.

As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.
For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.
To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:
Menu help > about Firefox
To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:

I know it's tedious, but don't let slip too long or you might get up to have to rebuild everything (the curse of your lack of backups, and if you do regular backups).

We have a unique system of Windows XP that run the software of engineering for certain calculations. All other systems running Windows 7, but what a XP system because it's the only thing that our calculations software runs on.
CPU of the XP computer died on us and we had to replace the card mother and CPU. After the change of equipment, following Microsoft's OWN guide on the running an XP repair, we ran the system repair and got all the way to the login screen (no blue screen not as before repair). However, none of the accounts are there and he asks an administrators password. The system has NEVER had a password to our knowledge, it was built in the House, and all simply by clicking on the Administrative login asks for a password.
What can we do? We needed this fix before today and wait for the repair of the system to do. Is it possible to enter the system to run the software? We tried the SafeMode (all forms) and they all will ask a password after Windows loading.
It's so frustrating.
(PS I have been building computers for nearly 15 years and have never had this happen)
Thanks for the quick response. I looked into the system with a "start-up" program All original profiles seem to still be there. I don't know how to make them appear well. Can you direct me or tell me, how to make profiles see the place?
The biggest problem, outdoors is not be able to sign more, is that the engineering calculation software is locked to this PC. It can be installed anywhere else without having to pay for a VERY new (I think that thousands of dollars) expensive key or a new version of the software.
:(
Yes, it's a problem.I believe you can use a UBCD4Win CD or Hiren Boot CD to locate and right click on the files you want to change. And then, if you properly in your repair facility, you change the attributes after you're done.Some guides are better than others. And here's one that I like:If necessary, hire a PC Tech. It's much cheaper than buying a license that is thousands of dollars! -
Some of the icons in front of my favorites have disappeared. HUH?
Some of the icons in front of my favorites have disappeared. Others are still there. What can I do to get back them?
Try to restore with this extension:
If this does not help then it is possible that there is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

You must use CheckPlaces once after you remove files in places.

I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?
Sorry you have coming.
See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.
The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

Other options?
One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

Hello:
I upgraded to 37.0.2 today. Fx reboot, I can't see any bookmarks. NO what so ever.
My bookmarks bar was full.So I open the bookmarks in the menu bar top (view all bookmarks] and none show there either.)
The bar watch bookmarks but not favourites. everything gone?Please see screenshot
Thank you scribe_UK
(1) I did as you suggested:
First of all open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.(2) all the backups of my favorites are there. My Favorites get saved at shutdown fx, which i usually do daily or every 2 days. Then I copied the latest file on my hard drive. Then I restored it. Just in case something goes wrong.
(3) it is the good news. The bad news
> restoring crashed 3 times before it completely restored. When I say crashed... started giving errors js... so I waited and let the script raather than to stop it. After about an hour and a bit it finally done.
> all bookmarks lost all their icons. So I loaded the fav icon reloader Add on. And it was refreshing icons. A took about 2 hours to refresh.so I'm now sorted from the point of view of bookmarks. But the upgrade to Fx always makes me nervous when things like this happen. Not pretty.
Secondly, since the upgrade, Fx went back slow slow speed that it worked before as I have created a new installation new Yosemite as 5 cool months and there's profile. If something tells me the upgrade of fx is only as a last resort. Like I slow FX now, unless I want to spend even more time, you re-create the Fx profile.
Thanks for your help.

I checked the folder %AppData%, but there is still no sign of the extensions that I had installed (which were about 10).
How can I recover it?
There is a profile folder by default with a file extension, it contains, but extensions were all parties.
Quite strange if, somehow it keep the settings. Cause when I tried to reinstall the extensions, it has applied the settings as I had before.
It fixed now, thank you very much.

Fixed the pc and now problems with the operating system.
So a few weeks ago I had replaced my motherboard fried and all the rest. Windows claimed to resurrect my computer, my copy of Windows 7 is not legitimate and does not accept my product key. Any advice on how to fix this?
If your license of Windows 7 comes with the previous motherboard, it is not transferable to a new motherboard.
If it is a license upgrade of retail that you bought in a store, the motherboard, you take a match it must have a previous qualification licence.
You can also try the following:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

I want my music back. Most of it I ripped from my CD collection, lots of it, I downloaded P2P, and the rest came from the iTunes store. What is happening with this?
Can anyone help?
Thank you
If you would allow him to synchronize, you would have a backup on your computer.
Everything you bought from iTunes can be downloaded again free of charge. (Good luck to remember all the titles of the songs.) The CD RIP are probably history.

I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all of my favorites have disappeared.
I recently started using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on Windows 7 platform. I got some kind of error message (I think only of Xmarks) about "bookmarks". I clicked on the message to solve the problem and zapp all my favorites have disappeared. I found my profile "bookmarksbackup" file but can not open it. I guess I need a JSON Viewer. I downloaded an opensource Viewer that looked good, but still not get anything that looks remotely to my old favorites. I thought I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my ignorance.
In addition, if the bookmarksbackup files folder it contains, you can try to restore one of it via Firefox Bookmarks (Alt + B) > show all bookmarks > import and backup. See also this.
Alternatively, you can also check your account of Xmarks for bookmarks. If it had been transferred successfully in the past, you can install Xmarks, connect to Xmarks Firefox, and then download the backup.

You're just past my firefox at 18.2, all my favorites have been removed, why
At about 9:00 pm EST Firefox worked normally on my pc.
At about 11: 30 a.m. et, I opened Firefox and got a Mozilla screen that says that the program has been changed.
Now all my favorites have disappeared.
Why
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly or lose bookmarks can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.
