  • 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.

    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.

  • 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": }

  • Add or edit bookmarks causes Safari to hang

    When I try to add or edit bookmarks on my MacBook Pro it causes Safari hang and I must use force/quit to get out.

    I use iCloud and when I try to add bookmarks in safari on my iPhone it is successful, and then it syncs to my list of bookmarks on my MBP, but if I try to edit this bookmark Safari hangs again.  As far as I can tell this has only started in the last days.

    I tried logging and again to iCloud and remove the iCloud list in Safari preferences.

    The software is latest version and works well in all other respects.

    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud and then uncheck the box next to Safari and select re.

    On your iPad and iPhone, tap setting > iCloud. Disable Safari then turn it back on.

    Give iCloud minutes to re sync your bookmarks, then try to add or edit a bookmark.

  • Virus or update causing no response to keystrokes

    I have just got rid of the Conficker worm and advice said, it's important to keep up with Microsoft Updates.  I guess I had disabled updates updated long ago many things at the same time.  When I came back to the machine, he said updates complete, restart the computer.  On restart I got two blocks of messages "the 654 ordinal not found in the dynamic link library iertutil.dll" - and -"Error loading C:\WINDOW\system 32\iedkcs32.dll the operating system cannot run %1."  I clicked OK on each one and they went and computer seemed to work fine until I tried to sign in my email.  I have no response to the strikes and could not sign.  My mouse has seemed to work move me and I could type in the address bar and in the start menu, run the section for the keyboard works.  So, it is a virus thing or updates caused this?   I have not the slightest idea where to look.  I use another computer to create this message.

    I was running from IE7.  When I upgraded to IE8 the problem disappeared.
