My favorites have disappeared without a trace after upgrade, can someone help me get back

Windows 7 and firefox 24

Alternatively, you can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop that may have been created as a result of reset?

You have more than one Firefox profile folder?

  • CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET THE CPU TO QUIT RUNNING AT 100 WITHOUT A RUNNING PROGRAM? What is going on? Help!

    I just bought a laptop about four months ago.  The processor works 100% now with absolutely NOTHING running.  Microsoft answers this question?  I have critical documents on this computer and do all my work on the internet but I'm not a computer person.  I barely know anything about software, but I started CPU research because its knocking out my computer and causing it to run hot.  What does windows do?  I need this problem is resolved or I guess that Windows can refund me the cost of a new cell phone to destroy mines and this making it a useless piece of junk.   Does anyone have an answer?  Or should all go us to Apple?

    Malware is the more likely choice.

    Quick fix:

    • disconnect from the internet (if you have no malware, you don't want no computer talking to the internet)
    • Log in as an administrator.
    • Start the Task Manager,
    • Click "show processes from all users."
    • Click the CPU column header to sort the processes by the use of the CPU, click to get the maximum at the top
    • Now, you will see, if all goes well the task that uses resources.

    If you recognize it, you might try to end the process. It may restart automatically.

    If you want to know what is running, download Sysinternals Process Explorer better. It gives much more information: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-sysinternals-tools-you-shouldn ' t-being-without/2033

  • Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)

    Basically, the question says it all.

    All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.

    I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

    If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?

    If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511

    Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:

    Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

    I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.

  • 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.

  • Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails. They seem to have disappeared. This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.

    Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails.  They seem to have disappeared.  This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.  All hope of recovery?

    Thank you!

    Please read this in its entirety. It includes the restoration of the trash.
     
     
    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
      
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     
    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
    And see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
     
    And backup often.

  • 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. Help.

    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:

    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/

    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).

  • 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.

    Any chance that you made a backup of these data?

  • Cursor disappeared on my IdeaPad after upgrade to 8.1 Windows

    Recently, I upgraded my Ideapad to 8.1 Windows with my graphics driver as well as another driver.

    After upgrading my pointer disappeared on restart. My mouse pointer appears always as usual at the login screen, but after I login, it disappears. The cursor is still active, so I can still run applications, but the cursor is not visible and it is very frustrating.

    If someone has encountered this problem with their upgrade and if so, would you be able to share something with me?

    Thank you

    Only, I have solved my problem. After upgrade to Windows 8.1, I noticed that the Pen & Touch option was no longer available in my control panel.

    For those of you who own a Wacom tablet, you need to reinstall you Wacom using the CD they provide and that should solve your problem immediately.

    Windows was going to charge me $160 to fix the problem, saying that my computer must be riddeled with the Trojans, which is the reason why my cursor was not show.
