Problem restoring bookmarks

Hello

I recently had to restore my computer and I decided that I would save my favorites before that to save me the trouble to add all. I followed one of the guides on this site and has my backup file ready to go, but when I went to import/restore them, it wouldn't take the file that has been done.

After you follow the steps in the guide, Firefox has created a "Unix executable file. First I tried to import this file, then I tried to restore this file via Firefox. After this does not work, I just double click on the file and it opens a terminal window (I'm on OS X, incidentally) and spits out text then a mistake.

After that, I just right click the file and tried to open it in Firefox. I found myself with a bunch of text will on the side of the screen and after scrolling for a bit, I could find some URL to my bookmarks in the code, if bookmarks are here.

What can I do to restore these?

If the file is a long line so it's probably a JSON backup and in this cae you just rename the file and add the .json file extension.

A JSON backup begins with: {"title": "","id": 1, "dateAdded": }

  • Problem with bookmarks to incorrect page

    Hi all

    I have problems with bookmarks - I think that, because of the way I put the statutes in the folio.

    Current Article configuration:

    Starting with a bunch of single page PDF, I used the following InDesign to PDF script to create a folio:

    http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/DPS-PDF-to-InDesign.html

    -Folio

    -Article record

    -example_h.indd <-displays a double page spread (2 side by side - view of landscape PDF files)

    -example_v.indd <-display two single page PDF (see portrait)

    -Article record

    -example_h.indd

    -example_v.indd

    .. and so on...

    Problem:

    Because the example_v.indd file contains two pages - if when using the iPad, score you one of these pages, it will always return you to the first page of this file.

    Has anyone discovered a way to specify that the second page is the only one to display to the user - if it was the page they bookmarked?

    Another Solution:

    I imagine that a workaround may be to store every single page in its own section, each with a copy of his page double respective that spread as well.

    Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

    Best regards

    Tim

    Favorites at the article level. So, if your article has 2, 5, 11 pages, the user would be redirected to the first page of the article any page they favorite.

    This is what is described in the release notes, and I checked that the behavior:

  • Problem restoring previous version of FF bookmarks, "Unable to process the file of backup.", already tried to delete "places.sqlite".

    I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 on a computer that has not been used for about a year. Before wiping the HARD drive, I saved Firefox bookmarks in the form of a .json file (I don't know what version of FF was installed on the computer before, but I know it was at least a year).

    After reinstalling Windows and install Firefox 24.0, I tried to restore the bookmarks using the "Bookmarks-> import" and backup-> restore-> Choose File... "option. I get the error says "Failed to process the backup file."

    I tried to search for this problem but I couldn't find anything precise. It sounds ridiculous because I just installed FF, I tried to delete the file "places.sqlite" based on other similar problems, but that did not fix the problem.

    My only thought is that it must be a problem with incompatible versions of FF bookmarks. Is it possible to recover bookmarks in the .json file?

    Oh my god. I removed the comma, who pointed out the error report and file and bookmarks have been restored!

    How this comma go?

    Thank you for linking me to the validation tool. It has been extremely helpful.

  • Cannot restore bookmarks after update

    Hello. Yesterday I updated my Firefox, and it did not import my favorites. I've saved in JSON format. In the menu of the restoration, he back all previous restore points, but when I try to restore/import, none of them, the browser crashes and I get a message similar to the one that I join you. I tried everything I read in the forums... delete the places.sqlite file, adding to the maintenance of places & Auto-Sort Bookmarks. I tried a system restore to go back to my old version (which works, but favorites are gone now and the problem persists)... nothing is solved the problem and I am very sad to lose the value of my few years of bookmarks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Or if you have a * ton * of bookmarks - have you tried just pressing "Continue" whenever it appears? Maybe your computer needs time to gnaw on the data.

    Several times when I get this error message, my computer must just still a minute or two to reflect on what he's trying to do.

  • Problems copying bookmarks from old Hard Drive to new hard drive

    The motherboard on my old Windows Vista 64 - bit is dead. The hard drive is still accessible. I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and installed Firefox. I find the.default file for Firefox on the old drive hard and copied and pasted in my new profile on my new hard drive. The old hard drive is connected to my new PC with an external hard drive enclosure. I tried looking for in my old profile user Firefox hard disk of old. I do this by clicking on my old username, go to Program Files (x 86) and only one program file that I found for DNA. Firefox has been installed on my old PC, so I'm surprised that I can't find what it listed under Program Files (x 86) on this drive. If I search the old drive for 'signet', it evokes my bookmarksbackup and other files of bookmarks '.json '. I tired bookmarksbackup copy for my new Firefox profile on the new hard drive and it seems to work, but the old bookmarks do not appear when I open Firefox. I looked at the links troubleshooting for the same problem that others have posted, but they seem irrelevant, because I can't find the sqlite or the directory where my old Firefox settings are stored on my old hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Firefox settings are not stored in program files, but they are stored under APPDATA.

    If you take the newer JSON file you have, open Firefox, press Control, Shift and B at the same time, then go to "Import and backup" then 'restore', then choose file, you can import it like this?

  • Cannot restore bookmarks

    Version 3.6.17 last night I noticed that a particular section of bookmark, I use a lot was missing so I tried to restore the bookmarks of a day old backup Firefox has automatically done for me. I got the error "Failed to process the backup file." So I tried each of the 4 other files listed backup, which produces the same error. The manual backup I have is a few months old if I'd prefer restore a recent backup. Is there a way to make one of these json backup work files? Today, I reinstalled FF with the same result. If I can not restore one of these files, then is there a way to import only the part of the saved exported bookmarks I need instead of importing all the old bookmarks file? Thank you, Jerry

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

  • How to restore bookmarks in a previously restored factory computer who use firefox as default browser?

    I used Firefox as my default browser and my computer has been unexpectedly restored to factory setting. Is it possible to restore my bookmarks?

    Was it the kind of refresh/restoring Windows that creates a folder named

    C:\Windows.old

  • Problem restoring stuck MacBook Pro system and time machine

    This morning my retina MBP (El Cap 10.11.4, updated about a week ago) has frozen. It was working fine yesterday, but wake from sleep this morning nothing would go, apps wouldn't start, nothing, so I rebooted. He got about a third of the way between the progress bar white on black screen and hung with a spinning wheel.

    Then I tried to secure boot and made me to the login screen, but it still turns after that I entered the password. (The guest account and the other I put in place but rarely use seem to work well, it's just me hanging). Reset NVRAM made no difference.

    Then I went to recovery mode and has conducted an audit of disk first aid, who reported no problems. So, I used the disk utility to make a disk image to backup to an external drive and then to the Time Machine system restore. However, it asks for the password for 'System administrator' and rejects everything I try. The TC is configured as "Discs safe with accounts" (not ' device password') and there are two custom accounts and the wifi password. I can't check my backup settings now, but I think that it is only for my account, so I wonder if even is a system restore file. I would try to change the airport disk access settings but I'm afraid it will just trash my backups.

    Suggestions for free my Mac or enter the system restore (or restore just my account) until I try a reinstall?
