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.

  • Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

    Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

    I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

    Concerning

    Pete

    The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

    I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

    If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

    It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

    It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

    I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

    What "update you"?

    Did you install Adobe Acrobat Reader to thing of error that you were "updated" your version of Acrobat? If so, you should always have Acrobat on your system. Open and use the file > Open to open your pdf files.

    And if it works, you need to change your file associations to use Acrobat to open PDFs instead of the free software Acrobat Reader.

  • Unable to select the file in the dialog box in the Sierra

    I'm unable to select an image file in the "save for Web" in the finder window "save under" in Photoshop CC running on the Sierra.

    There are times where I need to save a new image using a similar name by selecting the existing file, which matches the name in the dialog box "save under".

    The use of Photoshop CC in Sierra I am unable to do so due to the inability to select the existing files in the Save-as the finder window.

    I thought at first that was Adobe, but later, I noticed that I can not save for web browsers and other programs. I installed the beta updates on Sierra, but also which did not set. I hope be fixed so I can move on to Sierra. It was not such a problem in previous versions.

    Unfortunately, your discovery is correct. I just met for the first time. I was shocked, but apparently it will work in list view. View miniature not a reason any.

  • Unable to process the command BCU

    Hello

    I'm having a problem using BCU to configure the bios for a particular model desktop - PC HP Compaq 8000 Elite USDT

    When you try to configure, I get an error message

    Msg of ERROR = "unable to process the command. Password is enabled, but no other file password is provided, but it is not valid / >
    Msg of ERROR = result "BCU return value" = "10" / >

    The password was generated using HPQPswd.exe, and I am able to configure the bios for other computers (USDT Elite 8200, 8300 Elite USDT, Probook 4520) s using the same command.

    The operating system we use is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    I suspect that the system is old enough that the BIOS does not support Unicode format of the passwords. Run the attached script as "cscript IsPasswordSet.vbs" and it should tell you.

    If this is the case, try using the BCU version 2.60.13 on the web site of Customer Management Solutions. Check the use, the parameters are different.

  • Unable to save the files to my device (Flash disk)

    Unable to save the files in my flash drive. It is given the message that it is complete, although it is not even half full. Furthermore, when I tried to eject, there will be a message that I have shuold close all files using even when there is none.

    Thank you

    First of all, I would like to make a backup of all the files somewhere safe. Just in case something goes wrong. I would like to make a copy of the files on the computer. Format the USB. Then copy the files over. If after a format, it still has the same problem or she leaves you nothing copy on then the memory stick may be dying on you and her is to buy another.
