Want the old data of Firefox, old PC died, new recovery keys will remove old data on server.

I created Sync on my hard drive now unusable, with all my goodies of Firefox on it. I am now on another hard drive but when I try to set up the synchronization and recover my old data, he said that I need a recovery key. I can't get a so it generates one, but a new will apparently remove the old data that I want to do unnecessary synchronization. How to access my old data without a key?

I was and am now running Firefox 28.0 on two hard drives.

Hello, it is not possible to recover your old data sync without the recovery key, because the data is stored encrypted on mozilla sync servers and it's the only key to decrypt. If you have already generated a new recovery key and then also data on the servers was overwritten - so I'm afraid that this data is lost for good...

  • There is no recovery of replacement key account ID apple under the Security section.  How to make a new recovery key number?

    In the support section for a lost 'recovery' for two-step verification key, he pointed out that a recovery of replacement key can be generated on account of ID apple under the Security section.  However, it is not located there.  How can I make a new recovery key?

    Thank you.

    I just checked https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage and it shows (for me) after I click the button Edit in the Security section. Two possibilities - 1) this is the bottom of the screen on my screen so I need to scroll down to see it and 2) If you scroll further down after clicking on the button Edit in the Security section, does show that the two-step verification is on?

  • My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop-down list back. I can't get anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless for me now.

    Update of the Firefox software appeared. I allowed him to be installed. He wrecked the bar/search box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL options would seem the search engine and I could easily chose a. It has been easy. Now, nothing. I can't find anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. I have to go out and spend another $ 1,000 to get a new computer? This is not good. You shouldn't do that to a person. Not everyone is technically advanced that some of you are. Now, I have no means to look for anything with Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your a software update messed me all this. So what should I do? IE is worthless. Not sure, not sure, can not trust him. Never works right. May not print correctly. Update Firefox shouldn't have messed up my computer. I need to search and now I can't. I mean, it's really not good. So, just for you called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the small, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is empty. White, white. Is no longer the quick menu drop-down window with all of the available selections of search engine. I have it? That's why I told myself. Have a real nice day!

    See this article to find out how the new search bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox

    If you want that the old regime back for that search bar.
    Open Subject: config (typed in the address bar) and turn this false preference
    browser.search.showOneOffButtons
    Then restart Firefox.

  • I want the old back Firefox!

    Basically I don't like the update. Not at all.
    The orange firefox button disappeared, the legs are given a circular shape and it shit.

    How can I change the appearance of back?

    The interface you see in Firefox 29 is a major (a first since Firefox 4) redesign of the user interface of Firefox called "Australis". We could argue about the similarity of the UI between 29 and Chrome but what good's that do? Point main is that Firefox is even more customizable than Google and more securely.

    If you don't like the new look of Australis, you can return to the display before Australis use the addon classic restaurateur theme

  • The 14.0.1 update modified the appearance of things, I want the old look back.

    Well, I'll be. The problem is fixed just mysteriously overnight.

  • I want the old, classic Windows XP solitaire!

    I've migrated to Windows 7 from XP. I don't like windows 7 version of solitaire. How can I get the old, classic solitaire that I had with windows xp?

    Thank you, Bruce. But I found an answer very simple in an answer to a similar question in this forum. Since I have an XP Pro PC, I could copy the appropriate files from the folder System 32 to Windows XP on a USB and then put the files in a new folder on my Win 7 PC.

    Here are the file names:

    Cards.dll, freecell.exe, sol.exe, mshearts.exe, spider.chm, spider.exe, spider.hlp and winimine.exe.

    In fact, I think that cards.dll and sol.exe would be sufficient for the other files associated with other games.

    Thanks again.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM 5.0 - want the old version back

    Don't like BBM 5.0, it slows my phone down much and images take forever to receive.

    How can I get the old one back?

    I own a bb8330 on the Telus Mobility network (Canada)

    Options > Advanced > Applications. Remove the current BBM 5

    Install your current OS on the device (if you have OS 4.7, look at options > about, third line down, starting with a "v.4.xxx")

    What is yours?

    Now install this OS on your PC and run the application loader to install the old version.

  • I want the old version of acrobat. XI, I'm really LOST trying to find a solution.

    Apparently theres a way to change the version to get rid of this news. I hae been a time on page and cannot find any solution. I was going to do an uninstall, but then I don't know how to reinstall the XI version of. I can't find anywhere.

    I hate update!

    I use this just a simple way, to edit PDF documents. Now, with this version, I can't have both documents are open simultaneously in two different windows. They open in Excel: a document with different pages, as if it were a book. I need to see both pages at the same time, to compare.

    Sorry, but I lost a DAY of work because of this!

    Anyone know how I can get the old version back? Thank you!

    Sounds like you just disable the tabs. It was a novelty, and not everyone welcomed it. Go to general Preferences and disable the option to open new documents in a new tab.

    To reinstall XI... well before you start, you would need the number series. Have you yet (does not tell us the number!)

  • How can I manage "all messages" - he'll be back in 3 years and I want the old deleted emails!

    I try to keep my account and cannot didn't know that the "all messages" had my emails 3 years back. How can I clear this box only have the emails say 6 months?

    I'll then from now on...

    All of the mail is not really useful for me - or is the important field! I only use the Inbox, sent, and of course the garbage that I regularly delete... spam is also useful to have...

    I guess it's a gmail or google account?
    I have a Gmail, IMAP and use a filter to move all messages that are over 14 days in a local folder. (NOT a folder on Gmail) when I remove (with filter) each over 30 days which is NOT marked. It works, and "all messages" are light.
    EDIT
    If you have e-mail messages in folders on Gmail, then removing all-mail will remove those as well. First move everything you have in local folders, and then delete. You don't have to subscribe to all mail

  • can firefox sync please send my recovery key to my email so I can recover my data?

    I built a new pc and formatted my old hard drive and before I formatted I thought to create a firefox sync account to get my stuff back, and I didn't notice I have the key recovery needed to do this.
    firefox help would be appreciated

    If the recovery key has been registered anywhere it would negate the need for a recovery key, because it would immediately make Firefox Sync precarious. The private nature of the recovery key, this is what makes it an effective form of security

  • Cannot set up Firefox sync on desktop - no recovery key and will not let me connect to get

    I downloaded Firefox for my new android phone and wanted to sync my office with the mobile app. When I went it said I had an account already set in place, but since I don't remember the information about this I just ended up changing the password so I could identify and then deleted the entire account.

    I have advanced and set up a new sync account, but he never gave me a recovery key. I don't think not that anything like that, but then the failure of the initial synchronization and I got an error message indicating the user name or password is incorrect.

    This happened twice and every time I went back and was over by resetting the password or deleting the whole account. But whenever I have go through the steps of creating another account never gave me a recovery key.

    I looked around and I tried following the steps to get a recovery key, but I don't have the ability to manage my account (perhaps because it was never entirely created and never went through an initial synchronization?) and I get an error message indicating the user name and password is incorrect, whenever I try to go through the steps to reset the recovery key. This is despite the fact that I can connect with the same credentials on the page of Firefox sync - for some reason any he just does not accept the normal browser sync tab.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and 13.0.1 Firefox version. No matter what help you can give me would be most appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for the last hours I'm trying to work through this.

    Hello

    Please see this for more details about the recovery key. You can also try to start over again using these steps (three parts): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

    If you are able to connect to the synchronization site which means the account still exists. In this case, you can try to delete the account, wait a few minutes and then try to configure the synchronization as described in the previous link.

  • HP 15-AB521TX: reinstalling Windows recovery media will remove the created partitions?

    I have a HP 15-AB521TX and as usual with all laptops, it comes with C: drive.

    I used a third party partition manager to create more than 3 partitions by deleting the space on the C drive, so now I have C, D (recovery), E, F and G,

    But somehow now I want to reinstall windows (using the recovery backup media (flash drive)) and I wanted to know if it will remove all the extra partition I created and delivered to a single drive C? Since I have data on other players, I don't want to do.

    Thank you very much.

    bsguru

    Unfortunately, the answer is YES - as the first action of the recovery feature is to reformat the entire disk to match the partition arrangement which was put there at the factory.

    So, BEFORE you do this, you must migrate off the partitions and the data you want to keep or restore.

    Good luck

  • Why Firefox Sync saying that my recovery key has been changed when I don't have another camera to change?

    I am trying to do my first synchronization, but the progress bar on the tab that opens does not move. I've left all night and still no change. When I click Synchronize now, a message appears indicating that I am using the wrong recovery key. I tried to use the same key and generating a new several times without success.

    I understood the question, FIPS prevented synchronization. Unfortunately, the error logs were not too useful, there are constant references to errors in connection with error.login.reason.recoverykey and no traceback.

    Anyway, once FIPS is off sync started working. This level of encryption is probably overkill for standard web browsing in any case.

  • I want the old search back bar (35 of Firefox).

    There is no such thing as the column browser.search.showoneoffbuttons in everything: config. It's there, but then I changed to false and restarted Firefox. Nothing has changed. I went back over there and don't know what happened, but the column is not there at all now.

    I tried to restore firefox to default settings, but that did not help.
