• After downloading the 23.0.1 version I've lost all the history, but no bookmarks. How can I recover ancient history? Recovery of "import and backup" does not help

  My story memorable and kept going back quite a few months. After the release of Firefox for 23.0.1 I lost all my history and Firefox keeps only the websites visited once the new version has been installed. My favorites were selected. I tried to get back in "Import and backup", but it goes back only to the date of the new facility. I tried places.sqlite "Roaming", but there is only one with the current date. Is there a way to recover the lost history? Why Firefox was losing it? It's going to happen averytime that updates Firefox?

  Manually back up your bookmarks. If you have used the 'import', you have already lost some information by overwriting. As a matter of course you should always save current bookmarks manually before using any restorations.

  • Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer

  This way you can make sure you are able to restore the current set. Your backup .json file put a safe off-trail program or Firefox profile. The desktop of Windows or the removable media would be appropriate.

  Firefox creates a bookmark, but does nothing about backup history. Fortunately Windows probably backup previous versions of your files places.sqlite and this is the database with the history and bookmarks in it. See if you can recover a recent version of this, it will restore your story up to the date of the restored file.

  • the places.sulite file is in the Firefox profile, a hidden folder that is easy to find by searching for defects. See profiles of boards - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data_how-do-i-find-my-profile

  Then import your latest bookmarks from anywhere where they were rescued. Import replaces the slightly older bookmarks from the Windows file.

  You my wish also can install and run the addon places maintenance.

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

  That can be used to check and repair the places.sqlite database. It will give a brief report. Note If the places.sqlite runs out of space, he begins removing history.

  In the future you my wish to regularly create occasional backups of your profile or at least your places.sqlite

• All Favorites & history disappeared after the upgrade to ver. 22 and bookmarks backup folder contains nothing from before the upgrade. Where are they?

  This morning, my Windows 7 installed the last updated. When I started again subsequently, Internet Explorer (which I hate!) my default browser and Firefox worm. 21 stated that it should be updated to 22. I did, and all my browsing history and bookmarks disappeared. I found my file backup bookmarks, but it is empty. It's as if I never had a previous version of Firefox and am completely new. Any suggestions on how I can recover my favorites?

  I found a solution for me. I find my old bookmarks folder in a cloud backup program I use and restored from there. First time I needed to use it. Still don't like the update of Windows has done to my Firefox, Picasa and some other programs!

• I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords

  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.

• Why my favorites automatically displayed in my browser bar as soon as I start typing "www"? If all the sites I visit and bookmark can be seen by someone who may just be my PC while I / us up?

  If I have "www.gambleitall.com", stored as a bookmark and I go to my departure from browser bar type www...all my favorites (including www.gambleitall.com) will appear. But these aren't the story. Bottom line... a bookmark should not appear in the browser bar simply because the site you enter contains corresponding letters as your bookmarks. Lack of privacy.

  If you have visited a site referenced, then it will become history.

  You can change what you want to see in the location menu bar dropdown:

  • Tools > Options > privacy > address bar: when you use the location bar, suggest: history, bookmarks and bookmarks, nothing
  • Smart address bar

• Last update of developer edition has lost all my favorites and addons

  I love Firefox! I use it exclusively. When I opened Aurora today (11.10.14) ALL my favorites and addons disappeared! Of course, I want back the way they were. How to achieve this?

  Hi rudeann, sorry to hear that you have problems with the bookmarks. My heart stops if I see ALL of my favorites have disappeared. Fortunately, we can fix that.

  I have an article in support of Firefox everything on here get these bookmarks. You have to take a look because what you do depends on how you put Firefox in place. It is if you use the normal Firefox and developer edition That's if you use just developer edition .

  Take a look at the article that fits your situation and let me know what happens. Hope you find your Favorites quick return. Let me know if you have any questions or this does not work for you.

• How can I separate the dialogue of downloads and bookmarks in the library box so I can see each one separately and at the same time as Firefox used to allow?

  After the last update, placed Firefox download dialog box and bookmarks in the same dialog, which cannot see both at the same time. I can't find any option to separate the two. It's severely cramping my workflow. Can you tell me how I can see once more my download progress in a single window and my favorites in another?

  You can view the new download manager in a tab by opening the words: download page and you can consider opening this page in a separate window.

• My history and bookmarks disappeared. How to make a comeback?

  I downloaded a program that somehow deleted my history and bookmarks? I also for some reason, do not have a copy of the system to restore, which is really weird. My places.sqlite file is only what I searched today trying to find a way to solve this problem. I use no profiles.

  You always have one Firefox profile folder.
  The profile folder is located in a hidden place.

  • C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

  "AppData" (XP: Application data;) Mac: ~ / library. Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.

  Do you have you refresh (reset) Firefox and have created a new profile?

  When you reset/refresh Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported.
  The current profile folder will be moved to "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.
  Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

  If you have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop, then you can retrieve your personal data files and copy in the current profile folder.
  For bookmarks, you can copy the file places.sqlite (history and bookmarks) and the folder bookmarkbackups.
  For passwords, you must logins.json and signons3.txt.
  This stores the encryption key (master password) necessary to decrypt the passwords stored in logins.json (signons.sqlite is no longer used).
  You can retrieve more personal data.
