I have reset firefox and lost all bookmarks. No backups.
First of all I discovered I could no longer type a web address directly into the address bar and access a site. Then, on the advice of online support, I reset Firefox, and the result was that I lost all my favorites. I tried backup to a recovery point, but it was not good. Help!
For best results, I wouldn't use Windows System Restore feature. This can lead to mixed files that do not work well together...
You're low space by chance? Reset feature duplicates a lot of data and sometimes it does not end when the disk space.
Could you search for your old settings folder in the following two locations:
- Windows desktop: the folder named "old data of Firefox.
- Firefox profiles folder: copy the following text and paste it into the search box on the start menu, and then press ENTER:
%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
You will certainly find your current (incomplete) record, but there is also an older file (old modified sense just before your reset).
If you find one of them, recover bookmarks, you can restore a backup by following the steps described in this article: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. At the step where you choose file, point you Firefox in this profile folder everywhere where you found it, and then in the folder bookmarkbackups inside.
You can also save other settings of the folder. This article can help, or for more specific help post-return: recovery of data from an old profile.
A bit of luck so far?

Has given the green light to upgrade Firefox to the latest version, to realize that all stored passwords were no longer available.
Can I restore these passwords?Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/safe+mode
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You need a (backup) copy of the files logins.json and key3db to retrieve the passwords if you current copies are lost or corrupted.
- Tools > Options > Security: passwords: "saved passwords" > "show passwords".

I have I have been refreshing to Firefox and lost all my favorites!
I went through the troubleshooting and monitoring instructions and my favorites are gone. read a few articles about the recovery, but was a bit hesitant to follow through when he said that I had 14 files, when I know I have a lot more.
Find the folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop. Make a copy of it, just in case you get stuck or need to start. But scrupulously every step:
For just the bookmarks:

Hi, I have just reset my Firefox and he lost ALL the TABS at the top. Bookmarks, history, leadership, Edit and Options tabs are GONE. I don't know that I named all right, but they ARE GONE. Please tell me how to get back them. Thanks, Chris

The toolbars are still on display in your browser?
If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.
As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.
Hope that helps.

Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?
Hello
Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
To change it follow these steps:- Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
- If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
- Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
- Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.
If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.
If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .
To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .
This solve your problems? Please report to us!
Thank you.

In Yahoo Mail, when you compose an email I get a Panel "asking to leave this page. It does not matter that I choose to stay or leave, the Panel will appear again... and again... the only way is to force enough Firefox and start all over... help please...
Some extensions or toolbars can add such a report.
It can also be part of the code on a page to prevent dataloss if you began to type text (composing a new mail) and you try to close this tab.
You should be able to close this report and close the active tab.What I posted above is applicable to all platforms, including Mac.

Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify
Yes I have FIOS Media Manager installed, but I've done since the start of Windows 7. For the first week or so it does not start on my download restarts. It started with this Nov 3 update from Microsoft. I went to downloads and there were two of them; Update for Internet Explorer 8 for x 64 based and updated Windows Defender definition.
After you install these two updates on restart FIOS M.M. was live at startup and my favorite MSN have disappeared. I disabled FIOS M.M., but somehow, he has been activated with this download. I went on my drive external backup and recovered the Favorites but am always intrigued by this phenomenon and how it changed my registry.

I tried to put all my accts (MSN, Yahoo) 'e' mail to Outlook Express, lost my original sign in detail, took the new identity and lost all previous messages... is there a way to retrieve them?
Rosieuk
Messages are likely to the old identity and you can go to file | Import | Messages to bring them into the new identity. See also point 4 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
The account information will have to be put in place in the new identity. You can switch between the old and new identities also. If save you messages and settings (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6), you must do it for the two identities, unless the new identity has all the information you need in it.
