restore from backup bookmarks

Dear Mozilla volunteers,

I turned on my computer the other day, only to be faced with a screen with absolutely no bookmarks toolbar and no access to my favorites. The Favorites have all disappeared. To try to do something about it, I tried to restore my old backups to disk. Unfortunately, this does not work. After clicking on show all bookmarks, I then click on import and backup. I then click on restore and gives me a menu to choose from - I select the oldest backup. Then gives me a message saying: Are You Sure? When I click OK, the machine seems to do nothing. It seems just to hang. Any ideas would be very appreciated,

Your

Hi, to see your Favorites bar, right-click in the bar of tabs - but not on a tab and tick/check bookmarks bar.

Favorites are stored in your profile separately from Firefox folder. This article should help you to restore.

Hope that solves your problem.

  • VCS restore from backup error

    Hello

    I have a problem with system restore from backup on the VCS X7.2.2 SW version. When I want to restore the backup system I get an error

    System error: invalid or missing system restore configuration data.

    I tried to downgrade VCS Cluster of X.7.2.2 to the SW X7.1 version. I made backup before you demote two peers. Perform later after some tests, I've upgraded VCS to X7.2.2 and wanted to restore the system backup created before the downgrade. But it is not possible, I just get error mentioned above, it is same on both peers. Even when I am creating a new backup and imediatelly try to restore from this file, I get the same error. Backup file looks good, I tried to restore this file to the VM system, and it has been restored correctly.

    Do you have an idea what might happen and how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hi mark, have you tried to reinstall the respective software of VCS on the failed device and try to restirong the valid backup of the same version of software?

  • Restore from backup problems

    iPhone 6 s Plus 128 GB

    iOS 10.0.2

    iTunes 12.5.1.21

    Windows 10

    I synced my phone this morning. I discovered a few hundred or two of my contacts, 34 are only there. I'll do a restore from a backup. I discovered that although I was backed up my phone several times during the past two months, only two are listed, this morning and the other in January. [angry face] I select the backup of this morning. It then gives me the error message "itunes can't restore iphone because not enough free space is available on the phone." I click 'OK '. (I have 25 GB free on the phone.)

    Then it reboots my phone. The error message that it could not connect with the phone because it is locked and needs the password. I enter the password and click "Retry." iTunes will connect with the phone. He soon begins to synchronize, even if I have in preferences to prevent automatic synchronization of the iphone.

    When it is finished syncing, I check my contacts. Still only 34. I go through the steps again. It is an infinite loop. He still made things even. Judge on three occasions.

    I restarted my computer, stopped, and then restarted the phone.

    What is happening, but better yet, how can I solve this problem and find my contacts?

    Thank you.

    If you are / use iCloud to synchronize your contacts, they are not in this backup.

    You can check on iCloud.com. How much are?

  • restore from backup image

    I have an Acer Aspire E1-571-6856, Windows 7 64 - bit, 4 GB RAM, 2.6 ghz core i5, 4000 hd graphics card

    I have created a backup of the image using Acer Backup Manager.

    There is no option to restore from Acer although backup recovery image.

    How can I restore backup images?

    I don't think that you can load your restore with Acer erecovery media point, since normally is used to re - install from scratch the BONE.

    You must create your own media recovery with the same software that you created in the backup image, which will no doubt help to load the backup image.

  • Problem restoring from backup files

    Because I had to reformat, I tried for days restore files from backups. Backups are on a removable hard drive, I have: who is connected to my computer, and I can see the files by right-clicking on the folder.

    So I go to the center of backup and restore, click on restore files and get the message, "There is no backup on this computer." (Even though I know there are).
    If I click on advanced restore and restore files from another computer and check files from a backup made on a different computer. I'm sailing on the 'I' in the car. In the Date and time column, he later shows several backups, but in the other column, it says: "backup location is not available."
    How can I get the program to recognize that the "I" drive is, in fact, connected to the computer?

    I gave up and called the neighborhood guru. He discovered that it is possible, by searching the backup files, to copy the selected files directly in the records desired on the main drive, without going through the restore function. I don't know why it works like this, but I get back my files. Thank you for all the time spent on my problem.

  • How to recover photos after restoring from backup

    Is it possible to restore photos a iphone 5 after accidentally from 2014 with no new data backup since then? Why I have not saved for awhile it is because it takes a lot of space on my computer mac laptop (I don't have much space to begin with, only 12 GB at max and now only 1 GB after the restoration, icloud will have only 5 GB of available so I'm not sure.

    I accidentally deleted my entire folder of images on mac and thought that backup restore iphone on computer he would bring back (I thought that all the pictures in this folder have been for the iphone, it turns out that they were not) and not backing up my iphone.

    You have restored the controlfile?

  • After changing a Firefox latest, my favorites have disappeared, and just "restore from backup" gives "not able to process the backup file".

    I tried the tool maintenance for places.sqlite and even delete the file so firefox it rebuilt. But no joy. New version is 36.0.1. Don't you remember an old man, but he was old enough. Five available json files, but none works

    I found my own answer.

    I copied the file favorite .json on a USB key. Led to another PC that still had an old Firefox and successfully it read. The exported as HTML and postponed retrospectively & imported.

    If someone else this problem is not lucky enough to have another PC with old Firefox, I'm willing to bet that you could just install Chrome rather & he'd willingly read.

    Hi, I have a 1st generation Apple Watch Sport 38mm.  Recently, I sold my 6 s Iphone in anticipation of the arrival of the Iphone 7.  In my haste, I forgot to turn off my Apple Watch match before sending it away.  I have been using a loaner phone while I was not able to restore from Icloud because it doesn't have enough memory so I have just set up as a new phone.  When I paired my watch with her that I had to reset as I was not able to select a backup (because it's not because I didn't have it odd).  I'm afraid now that I've lost all my previous data.  Do you know that if I can restore my Apple Watch from a backup to Icloud - I won't be able to try this until I get my new phone, but just pray that I can choose a backup for my watch from my phone when I put in place?  Thank you very much
