My Favorites are gone and I can't find them on 'restore' as Mozilla support suggests.
I can't get back 4 years worth of bookmarks organized... they were here 2 days ago. When I click on 'Import/save' and then 'restore', it just says "Choose file" and go to the desktop. It only gives me a list of dates. Help, please...? (I just installed Kaspersky and I think he can put me in "safe browsing" - their words not mine - if that means something to you). Again, here's what I do:
Click on bookmarks, (drop down menu) click View all bookmarks, (new menu) click on import and backup, (drop-down menu), click Restore - instead of a list of dates, it reads the file choose as the only option, click on choose a = file takes me to the desktop icons.
Immediately back up your Firefox profile folder & its files by copying a safe place (Firefox outside of the profile or program path) of your desktop or my documents would do.
- For instructions, please read the profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
Please post when you have done this.
It is advisable to make backup profile before attempting any resumption of bookmark or because the danger of files incorrectly overwrite or get lost.
I guess Kaspersky safe navigation is some thing that is useless for moneytise your navigation. By default, Firefox provides phishing malware protection
- How does built-in Phishing and Protection against malware?
Your Kaspersky Anti-virus protection is separate and should always be used, who will work with Firefox.

Tried to restore a bookmarks file (I have a dozen), but I get the message "failed to process the backup file". By clicking on the 'star' to add a new bookmark seems to work until I click "Show all bookmarks" which reveals a still empty library. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

My Favorites are gone. I can get back them
Less than a week ago, I got hooked to Verizon FIOS. I installed a wirelss device to connect back modem/router, everything has worked for several days. Then all my favorites have disappeared. My "Favorites" stayed OK
Choose a Restore Point after Verizon and before the Favorites have disappeared.
Restore point:

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

I tried to restore, and nothing is there. Please help me find where they might be saving too.
One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

My drivers are gone and I can't get sound, how can I download them?
do I do t get my sound back, I put in the disc start and for some reason it didn't load my card drivers his and my wobbly id screen
melinda a kelly you have not provided enough information to answer your question. First of all, what version of Windows®, edition and service pack level you are running on your system. Secondly, please describe your hardware. Tell the forum the manufacturer and model of your system if it is conditioned. If not packed, say please use the manufacturer and model of your motherboard. Please describe all types of adapters that are installed in expansion slots, as appropriate. Finally, please read: KB555375 - how to ask a question
In addition, when you say:
... I put in the disc start and for some reason, it didn't load my card drivers his and my wobbly id screen
What disc are you talking? What is a disc that came with your system (unknown) or the installation of Microsoft® Windows® Media?
As a general rule, in situations like yours, we recommend to go to your system (so excited) or the motherboard manufacturer's Web site (if not packed) and find the support site for your model. You will find material shipped and the chipset drivers and other software needed to operate you system under Windows®. Since it seems you have more of a problem, you could consider to download and install all the that are relevant.
If you have multiple multimedia (audio) cards, you may need to select the appropriate device in the tab "Audio" Panel "Sounds and Audio devices" control.

I got the new tab next to open tabs button, but with a recent update of Firefox, the tab button disappeared. Went through all the help points, but how do I add the new Help tab is not listed. The only way to open a new tab is manually using the buttons on windows/t or opening the file and choosing the new tab.
Hello
It could be that he is hidden behind another icon. Please try this: right click on the empty space after the last tab and Customize.... With the mini window open, you can move the other toolbars and icons to check if the new tab button is hidden. You can also check inside the mini window customize the icon named new tab or click Restore Default Set that will be hopefully restore back. Please note that if nothing is uninstalled or disabled when you click on restore by default, you will have to redo all changes to manual/personal toolbar.

I bought ibooks, how and where can I find them?
Hi, I bought a couple of ibooks to the iStore. Where are they. How to find and can transfer them to my iPad? How? Thank you, Trish
What device did you buy the on, or have you bought the computer?
Are they still in the store, then they should show in the tab bought the iBooks on your iPad app (assuming that you use the same account on that).
Or if you bought on iTunes on your computer (if iBooks app you use a Mac to date) and then connect the iPad to iTunes from the computer, select the tab 'books' in iTunes, select and synchronize the book to him.
