Why my firefox settings are not preserved when I update?

Was just invited to update my Firefox to 23.0 and, as usual, asked if I wanted to "import" whatever it is INTERNET Explorer. I said NO - I don't want these settings in Firefox.

I expect, however, that the update would bring on my customizations of my previous version of Firefox - but it didn't! No preserved Favorites, my window settings (I HATE TABS!) were gone, my wiped out - privacy settings I have to rebuild my environment to pass one version of FF to another?

Why do you ask me about IE, but not Firefox? And--now--all of these customizations are lost?

Yes, it looks like your Firefox profile folder.

You have a profiles.ini file in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

If this file is there then you can list its contents?

Note that Windows can hide the .ini file extension, so you can see only one file of profiles also the profiles folder that stores the profile folder.

    In your first screenshot you are looking for in your user library

    In the second screen shot, look at the presets of the real photoshop application

    In the open dialog box, click Applications, then Adobe Photoshop CC > Presets

    Since your presets are already in the photoshop presets folder, you be able to load them into the list of Brush in photoshop instead having to use Open (load or replace).

  • Why the proxy settings are not respected

    I set up SSH as a proxy server on my laptop when I'm on a public network and configure Firefox to use the proxy by completing the manual Proxy config.

    If SSH doesn't work, I get this error message as expected: "the proxy server refuses connections" when I try to access any website EXCEPT Google.

    Searches on Google and access Google.com still works, even when the proxy server is not up. That seems broken.

    When the proxy server IS up, Google searches do not appear to use it.

    Google is my default search provider. If I try to access Bing, Firefox is behaving as expected (no access when proxy is out, throw up debugging indicating new connections when the proxy is up). If I change from Bing to be default search provider, the behavior of the two remains the same (proxy will use Bing, Google does not work).

    Why access to Google (and only Google?) ignore the proxy settings? Are there other sites of 'magic' that would also ignore the proxy? I use the proxy because I want to protect my internet traffic when I'm on public networks, if Firefox can randomly ignore them for some sites but not others, how can I trust him?

    My configuration problem. I realized that any site that uses https worked, while others are not.

    Somehow the "use this proxy server for all protocols" got unchecked. Audit, it solves the problem.

  • Files and settings are not transferred when I use the files and the Settings Transfer Wizard

    Two XP computers are same all critical Service Pack 3 with the update.  Same version of FAST.

    Running FAST on the old computer (files and settings) creates the USMT2. The UNC file.

    Run FAST on the NEW computer concludes the USMT2. UNC file and works through its steps.

    Both measures take about two hours to complete.

    When FASTING is complete on the new computer he wants to disconnect the user.  At this point, it seems that it worked without errors.  (no error messages at all)

    After the Cup then turn it back, it's as FAST does not work.

    FASTWiz.log is 175KO on OLD PC and 72KO on NEW

    Don't know what to look for or what could be the problem.

    Both computers have MigWiz.exe version 5.1.2600.5512

    I'm glad you worked on it.  Thanks for letting me know.

  • Why my form buttons are not anchor when they are copied?

    Hello everyone. I was wondering if you could help understand me a solution for my buttons (form) do not anchor at the end of the timeline when they are copied as buttons and the normal items.

    Thanks to anyone who can help us with that.

    Indeed, sorry about that. There seems to be no way to do that. Using apply to items of this Style in the distribution panel, moves all the keys with this style to the same starting point on a slide, but never the anchor will be preserved. I'm sorry, it's impossible to find a way.

  • Oracle AIA CBIA PIP: Why account level settings are not supported?

    Gurus of HI AIA Comms

    We have a requirement where the customer wants to use the BRM account level setting.
    We observed that the account level setting is not supported in Oracle AIA CBIA PIP.

    Can someone tell me why the account level adjustment is not supported?

    Also, give suggestions on the way to meet the requirement of the customer.

    Concerning
    Arun

    Hi Arun,

    Yes you are right, you should use the PCM_OP_AR_ACCOUNT_ADJUSTMENT opcode. In Siebel side LOV value must be set ' account' except that we have added additional attributes to our requirement.

    Changes required mainly to the process of 'CreateAccountBalanceAdjustmentPortalCommsProveABCSImpl '. New transformation must be created to convert EBM ABM PCM_OP_AR_ACCOUNT_ADJUSTMENT and then call PCM_OP_AR_ACCOUNT_ADJUSTMENT opcode.

  • Why the my files are not available when checked?

    I have a relatively new Win 7 box, TC 4 running. If the armature 11, I checked a book (using CMS/SharePoint) and everything out ok. But when I go to edit files, they have question marks, and if I try to open them, the message is "cover.fm doesn't exist." for example.

    In addition, a long file directory shows instead of just the file name.

    Other users with similar configurations do not experience this problem.

    I can work with other books very well, but not this one (which is the MAIN one I use FM for!).

    Help!

    I resolved myself. Seems something has happened to the book - it lost connection with the individual files. Then I opened the book, deleted the unknown files and readded them. Problem solved!

    Always have the long super file directory name list for the book, but I can live with that.

  • Location bar settings are not Micaëla when I close FF

    Pfff good so I put my location bar settings > nothing: If selected, the address bar will not display results that match what you type.

    then I close firefox, reopen and voila... It shows the history and bookmars. Now more funny thing is when I put the bookmarks bar, he remembers that.

    Then... What?

    I don't want the locationbar to show my favorites

    Also, if I set Firefox to remember any history, that works.

    Then why my locationbar settings do not work.

    Cleaning of privacy programs and may interfere with this (Norton, McAfee). If installed, adjust the settings as needed.

    It seems that the file user.js in your profile folder may be the substitution of preferences.

    Follow these steps:

    • Click on the Firefox button in the top left, then click on the help menu and select troubleshooting information in the submenu. If you do not have a Firefox button, click Help on the top menu and select troubleshooting information in the menu.
    • At the top of the page, you should see "Display folder." Your profile folder will now open.
    • At the top of the Firefox window, click the button of Firefox (File menu in Windows XP) and then click on leave
    • Locate the user.jsfile and open it with a text editor such as Notepad
    • Clear the contents of it, and then save the file.

    If the method above fails to get this preference to save, you need to reset Firefox:

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information in the Help menu.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  • Cache, cookies and history are not compensation when I close Firefox, even if they are to do and have been for centuries

    I had recently an update (or upgrade?) for 16 FF. Today (and I believe that the update has been done a day or two before?) my cache, cookies and history are not compensation when I close FF. In addition, some links may not work. No links to full web pages but for pop ups of site (as the engine of Smillie on a bulletin board). They worked a few days but do work not today. I click on the link and nothing happens. I noticed the problem with the cookies not compensation for a few weeks ago, but it was not only on a single site all sites which is what is happening now.

    My apologies if this is a little confusing. Thank you!

    I use fill form for private browsing is a bit complicated. I just put everything out when I close Firefox.

    Nevertheless, it seems to have fixed itself and now works for the time being everything is good. I have no idea what happened, but it works.

    Thanks for your replies!

  • Why my settings do not stay when I export from lightroom?

    I shot a video with expose too low so I imported into lightroom4 and set up the exhibit, it looks a lot like lightroom, but when I export the video and open it with another program that's just like the original. Why my settings do not stay when I export from lightroom?

    You will need make a new version with the settings being applied during export. Lightroom is non-destructive, while you can see the changes made in Lightroom if you export under the original... it's what you will get, the original unmodified file.

  • Mobile data does not and the name of the Access Point settings are not available

    I don't have a mobile data, not even the small up and down arrows or letters beside the sims signal bars appear.

    I tried all the troubleshooting settings and different type of network, the airplane mode is off, mobile data are no limit, no power save modes are on. Phone is dual sim so I tried on the two sims and tried to disable the other sim and changing the sim slots, both sims are loaded with a credit of data that works in other android devices. WiFi works fine. Factory reset does not help.

    There is that one thing that I can't not try troubleshooting. When I select settings > more > mobile networks > access point names, it says

    "Access Point name settings are not available for this user.

    Maybe if I could put APN I could get mobile data. How can I do or how I can try to get mobile data to work?

    Phone's Xperia M4 Aqua E2363 with build 26.1.B.2.102 thanks if you can help

    This text is a bit misleading, which is something that I have forwarded internally as your comments.

    If you have no NPP stored the phone displays the text "the name of the Access Point settings are not available for this user" even if you use the owner account and have access to the settings.

    Try to download the automatic settings from settings-> more-> Internet settings and see if that helps.

  • Some photos are not selected when I try to import ("do not import possible double images" is turned OFF!)

    Some photos are not selected when I try to import. I used Lightroom 5 since it launched and do not have this problem until a month ago (select: "do not import possible double images" is turned OFF!). I really have to control my import in the opposite case, it miss a few images, but don't know what to do when the picture is not selected. How can I import the correctly without making stuff and that's why spoil my archive carefully planned? My archive is too packed and I have double numbers ore something? What I need Lightroom 6?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards, Enith

    "Photos are indeed grey, but the imported photos are new assignments, so this:" ","then it means that you have previously imported photos in Lightroom, and so it is not necessary to import them again ', is not the case.

    While you are probably right, if the photos were just captured, the problem is that Lightroom think that these are the same pictures that were previously imported, and so until you can determine why Lightroom think that you won't progress.

    You need search for any of these photos in your Lightroom Catalog. Follow these 4 steps in order

    1. In the catalog Panel on the left side of the library Module, click all photographs
    2. Develop all batteries (picture-> stacking-> develop all batteries)
    3. Disable all filters (once or twice Ctrl-L)
    4. Search for one of these photos by file name
