URL bar autocomplete works not, renamed file: places.sqlite, now impossible to restore or import bookmarks

• The URL bar AutoComplete feature does not work correctly, does anyone else have this problem?

  I was running version 9.x and had this problem, so I've just updated to 11 of Firefox, but it does not help.

  The problem is that the URL bar doesn't let me type a new address in some cases - preferring instead to refer to a previously visited address. It would be better if I gave an example:

  I'm trying to access a site, that I have not visited, for example holden.com.au

  I type 'h', and the URL bar suggests that I go to my Hotmail login page (the URL for that starts by of ') and the rest of the extreme Auto (so now I'm in the situation where I have an address in the bar from '). This means that I can not continue to enter the address provided.

  Can it be fixed or is it just a question for me?

  I solved this problem by going to: setting up and activating/deactivating the browser.urlbar.autoFill layout. I think the default setting has been changed in a recent update.

• Can not recover the firefox bookmarks 8 there is no profile Firefox 9, the file places.sqlite

  Hello, I'm trying to transfer bookmarks from firefox 8 using the profile of appdata windows 7 for firefox. Everything I read says that there should be a places.sqlite in mozilla profile directory, but only records I see are "cache", "offlinecache", "startupcache" and the file "urlclassifier3.sqlite. I have bookmarks in my firefox application, so where is this info stored?

  If you see "cache", "offlinecache" etc, then you are looking to the wrong directories. You're looking under AppData\local, but bookmarks are under AppData\Roaming. It is for me on Win Vista:
  
  AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default

• Updating Firefox, my old profile said places.sqlite.corrupt and I can't get bookmarks

  Firefox crashed while and refreshed himself. He created a "old firefox data" folder on my desktop. I thought I followed the instructions correctly, I deleted the profile information in my new program firefox (appdata). and I copied pasted old data from firefox (desktop folder) into its place.
  When I restarted firefox, it has reopened all of my tabs that were open in the crash initially. So I thought everything was great. Then I noticed that my favorites are missing, and the tool bar was empty. My history file is also empty. When I looked at my profile, I found that I places.sqlite.corrupt file.
  I found a site that talks about downloading a program to fix places.sqlite, but I'm not a programmer and I don't understand how to do it. I don't want to make things worse, so I'm leaving it alone.

  It is possible that the places.sqlite has been corrupted by the accident and may not be used.
  You would have to restore a backup of the folder bookmarkbackups on the desktop.
  In this way, you can restore the bookmarks, but will lose the history (there is no backup history).

  You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

• I can't find the import option under file, Firefox 7. I'm trying to import bookmarks.

  I recently downloaded the latest version of Firefox for Mac 7. I try to import my bookmarks in Safari, and I see no option to import on the file menu.

• Address bar AutoComplete feature no longer works

  Hello

  After I erased my story a couple of days, I noticed that the address bar AutoComplete funtion not working. I have visited many sites since then and yet they do not upward, nor my favorites. In 'preferences' Firefox, privacy, I selected "History and bookmarks" to the address bar.
  I tried to use Firefox in safe mode, but the problem was also present in safe mode.

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• Import bookmarks into FF32 does not work. I tried swapping places that previously worked, I tried to import the bookmarks menu.

  It is a windows computer 8 that was RELEASED yesterday that I'm trying to set up again.

  I have copies of the bookmarks on a different drive (and in fact on another computer in windows 8 FF27)-I can not move the bookmarks on the computer reset.

  I did not attempt to move the entire profile yet just place and also tried to export/import bookmarks.

  I just reinstalled FF32 and have the same problem. Yesterday, I managed to move 'places' on the windows computer with FF27 8.

  somehow it works now - it wasn't a few minutes ago but I have bookmarks now and you can add them

  I tried many suggestions - "you can try to delete the prefs.js file and the compatibility.ini file to force Firefox to reset profile." - tried but alone is not enough

  I also installed Java during this process - it was probably necessary and could be automatic to a techno but I am a mathematician not a computer person. I know that I had installed java in the last days, but it is not visible in a search for the word java so I downloaded again.

  I took favorite save file places.sqlite and bookmarks off labour win 8 machine and tried to move them in the right spots in the files - did not work at first

  I found out the date on the work machine win 8 was a day and so when I open a backup bookmark that was old enough with all the other changes, I did finally worked.

  I see now where the star bookmarking moved - I liked the star in the address bar. I normally just use the history. I also don't like the tabs on the top and the other toolbars hidden and change some people during the installation. I'll change those two win 8 for my taste this week, but all of these changes were not urgent.

  I gave up control of that reset the PC to its 'owner' until the next disaster. I know that I have a program left to install (not an emergency I was told) and a handful of files to straighten again, but this last thing is status quo around here.

  Thank you for all the ideas.

  There are also some system # 4 - Windows 7 with FF31 which is my main computer - System #2 exists, as it was purchased for me but I've not used. I hate Windows 8 and hate the idea of moving all my files on it. But there are enough problems on this CPU as if I gave it away as a hand me down, I spent too much time trying to fix it for my spouse so they got a PC brand new instead of replace XP. When I gave them the XP that they had 'clean' with a fresh install of XP on one just cleaned HD.

• My F2 key does not work to rename (win7)

  Hi there - I'm hoping someone can help me answer my question.

  Recently my F2 key has stopped working.  He no longer works for renaming files or folders, nor does it work to edit cells in Excel.

  The key itself is working. When I press the F with F2 key it works (to not rename of course)- so close the key works.

  All other F keys work again properly.

  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can restore my F2 key functionality?

  Thanks in advance!

  Have you recently installed Babylon dictionary? Because I had the same problem and the reason was that Babylon used the key F2 to activate.

• Hi, my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this. Visited links are is more changing color.

  Hello
  My places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this.
  Suddenly the visited links don't change is no longer the font color, that I prepare for an exam, I need visited issues to change color, to follow up on issues that I ended. But if I delete a few days of history, then again once, most visited links change color and then it stops, it seems that something is getting full and not able to accommodate more? Why my visited links don't change color after a number of visits? I would like to make a back up of the file places.sqlite. So I tried everything to remove the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, and then copy paste places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links is no longer change color, if I delete a few days in history and then a few visits is again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my quota of visited links is increased , I also tried tweaking about: config and there has been no result. Although I was not really convinced that _pages growing brower.history_max (don't remember the name, but I'm sure you get the idea) will help.
  Seems that while my visited links change color, quota is met and only if I delete the history of a few days will I get some links most visited to change color. Can someone enlighten us? As mentioned that my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB so I think maybe this has something to do with it? Would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

  Sorry it is not looking good.

  1. Unlike bookmarks history is not saved in Firefox.
  2. There is a possibility using Windows.
  3. Sync is not expected to back up things until the synchronization server
  4. If places.sqlite does not sort itself you may have to re-create remove it. You will lose your history, but can still access indirectly IF you have saved a copy of the appropriate
  5. Different databases to try to create new profiles
  1. History
     is rather less robust than bookmarks, you should deliberately somehow return it upward, but it's too late now
  2. Earlier versions of Windows
     This is really the last chance. Make sure you have some places.sqlite you saved. Always before and after any attempt to restore the backup. Windows must be able to provide a previous version. One of these versions may be usable as is; or can be used after a repair with housekeeping. Of course, this is not the latest version but it should help.
  3. Sync is not a server backup service.
     Sync is intended to save on another device, no backup is the fact that the second device then contains synchronized information. IIRC Sync development ceased, and the replacement when available may include a server backup option.
  4. Recreate the database of bookmarks (including history)
     Unfortunately, recess can only use saved bookmarks, there is no saved history to use. Once the database is re-created, it will continue to store the history but it loses the existing history. This time take steps to save on a regular basis.

  5. Use the new profiles for database testing.
  
  To simplify comparison of the results of the database different files create one or more new additional profiles. Then try to smash the places.sqlite file into the test profile with any other places.sqlite, you want to try. Allows you to directly compare the databases, without seeking to use sync and without changing the Firefox profile work unnecessarily. You can keep a reference profile of studies with the best of the profiles of any shows results of history; According to the best recreated or corrupted database is.
  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • CARE, do not rename or delete profiles created once or use anything other than empty folders when they are created. Don't nest in the other profiles. (At least until you know exactly how it behaves - post back if you never consider such actions)
