Unexpected re-install removed all local records

For some reason any Thunderbird is closed, and it was impossible to open it again the e-mail program. After restarting the computer, I got a totally new, blank, Thunderbird without all the accounts you set up. I also lost all my files the. I want to restore to its original settings (local folders and e-mail accounts); How do I do that? I work on Windows 10 and use Thunderbird for years without problem.

Not the profiles.ini file that points to the profile was damaged, probably by a failure of the system when it has been updated.

anything you did that did not correct the location of the real profile is likely to come back and bite you when you try move to a new computer.

This article covers how to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile using the old location and restore things. I hope you did something very similar. http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

  • This will remove all your custom settings and the settings of many extensions.

    Hello

    I was reading this article of knowledge and he says:
    "This will delete all your custom settings and many extensions settings."
    What are the custom settings?

    for example one of these and what else
    bookmarks?
    Add - ons?
    Top toolbar - Customize the toolbar
    Add on the toolbar
    Firefox/preferences
    Authorization Manager settings

    Corrupted preference file
    File preferences may be corrupt, Firefox prevents writing to it. If you delete this file, Firefox will automatically create another when it comes to.

    Here's how to delete the prefs.js file.

    This will remove all your custom settings and the settings of many extensions.
    Open your profile folder:

    In the menu bar, click the Help menu and select troubleshooting information. The troubleshooting information tab will open.

    In the section the Application databases, click view in the Finder. It will open a window with the folder of your profile.
    Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions for finding your profile without having to open Firefox.

    In the menu bar, click Firefox and select Quit Firefox

    Locate the prefs.js file (and, if applicable, the prefs.js.moztmp file).
    Delete these files and files prefs - n.js where n is a number (e.g. prefs - 2.js).
    If there is, remove the Invalidprefs.js.
    Restart Firefox. You should now have reset all preferences.

    Based on information from preferences not saved (mozillaZine KB)

    #1: there are too many pref for all kinds of adjustment which will offer a recipe of what you lose and how to keep certain parameters.
    It is possible to copy specific lines of a prefs.js to this file in another profile or restore some settings after deleting this file in the current profile folder.

    All the prefs that show as a user defined and appear in bold on the topic: config page are stored in the prefs.js file.

    This includes the changes you make and data Firefox itself and extensions store as data/parameters in a pref.
    It's

    #2,3: the localstore.rdf file stores the toolbar configuration and other data.

    #4: the current versions of Firefox shows the menu entry "Tabs" at the top menu ' display > toolbars "and" Firefox > Options ' and in the menus toolbar pop-up if the tabs are not in the default position on the top.

    If the notches located on the top and the menu entry is not available and you want to move the tabs under the navigation toolbar, then you have to toggle the pref browser.tabs.onTop false on the subject: config page.

    A restart of Firefox is necessary for updating the menu entry to display or remove.

    Note that this pref will no longer effect when the code Australis lands on the output channel (code Australis will probably land in Firefox 29).

    #5: see https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History

    #8: session cookies are always kept in memory and never stored on the disc in cookies.sqlite

    You can only delete specific cookies manually in the Cookie Manager or leave cookies expire when you close Firefox to make them behave like session cookies.

    Cookies of other compensation will include all cookies and don't obey the exceptions that you have made.

    This troubleshooting is for Windows 7 - Vista is similar - for XP using RUN instead of
    Start - Search.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • If I delete the Firefox profiles folder in Appdata, which would remove all my Firefox personal information such as passwords and browser history?

    Sometimes I have to bring my laptop to the computer store, but I always make sure to remove all the programs like Firefox information, just in case.
    But I read that Firefox stores all your information in an Appdata folder.
    So I was wondering, if I had to move this folder to an external hard drive and remove it from the computer, would all my information from Firefox are deleted from the computer, or is it still going to save this information elsewhere?

    And if it removes all the information, if I move the folder that I save on an external hard drive on my computer, Firefox will have access to all this information again?

    Firefox will create a new profile folder if you try to open it without having a profile folder

    Yes, you could just copy the content and then delete the original content, leaving the record. Then overwrite the content again with the contents of your backup.
