With the 38.0.5 version, I can't erase the history or add bookmarks! Even in safe mode.
When I do CTRL-D, nothing appears, and when I select 'Book mark this page', nothing happens.
In addition, it will NOT erase the history.
Have refreshed, removed, reloaded, doing everything I can. These two problems.
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

Cannot search from the address bar or search even in safe mode
Hello
I can't search in the address bar or search, even in safe mode. I refreshed Firefox, delete all cookies, empty my cache, but nothing works. Also, I get a message that does not respect the firefox sync, and "this object pushed." I know that these are all different questions, but I suspect that there is a link.
I have very limited FTP and general computer knowledge, so please take I don't know anything when he answers! Really hope you can help!
Thanks in advance.
You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.
If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

Plug
iMac 27 "(mid-2010) running Os X El Capitan 10.11.4"
Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory: 16 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3
Problem
With a normal startup, iMac will start properly and I can successfully connect. Once connected, I immediately get a popup window stating "To open"CS5ServiceManager", you need to install the runtime Java SE 6 legacy." I have the opportunity to click on 'Détails' or 'OK', if I click on what anyone, I immediately get the spinning beachball. I'm sure that he ran the updates at night, because the next morning was when problems began to occur.
With a sure start, I can connect properly, everything is and I can open applications, it's just very slow.
What I have done (in no particular order)
1 Ran first aid utility disk
2 reinstalled OS X El Capitan
3 reset the NVRAM
4. the elements of disabled opening (Dropbox and Google Drive)
4 Ran correctly in Safe Mode, but when I rebooted the problem still occurred.
Recently I also upgraded my RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB, it has greatly improved the performance of the machine, and I don't have any problems so far.
I'm almost to the point of wiping the device to its factory settings, because it is so frustrating me. I really don't store anything on site, everything is in the cloud, or on an external hard drive.

Hello

I suggest that you try to start the Recovery Console from the Windows XP CD Windows and run CHKDSK.
Here is the link:

Important: If all available hard disk data can be lost when running chkdsk, as the chkdsk attempts to repair the affected area.

My story memorable and kept going back quite a few months. After the release of Firefox for 23.0.1 I lost all my history and Firefox keeps only the websites visited once the new version has been installed. My favorites were selected. I tried to get back in "Import and backup", but it goes back only to the date of the new facility. I tried places.sqlite "Roaming", but there is only one with the current date. Is there a way to recover the lost history? Why Firefox was losing it? It's going to happen averytime that updates Firefox?
Manually back up your bookmarks. If you have used the 'import', you have already lost some information by overwriting. As a matter of course you should always save current bookmarks manually before using any restorations.
This way you can make sure you are able to restore the current set. Your backup .json file put a safe off-trail program or Firefox profile. The desktop of Windows or the removable media would be appropriate.
Firefox creates a bookmark, but does nothing about backup history. Fortunately Windows probably backup previous versions of your files places.sqlite and this is the database with the history and bookmarks in it. See if you can recover a recent version of this, it will restore your story up to the date of the restored file.
- http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
- the places.sulite file is in the Firefox profile, a hidden folder that is easy to find by searching for defects. See profiles of boards - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data_how-do-i-find-my-profile
Then import your latest bookmarks from anywhere where they were rescued. Import replaces the slightly older bookmarks from the Windows file.
You my wish also can install and run the addon places maintenance.
That can be used to check and repair the places.sqlite database. It will give a brief report. Note If the places.sqlite runs out of space, he begins removing history.
In the future you my wish to regularly create occasional backups of your profile or at least your places.sqlite

Since the last update I can not access the sidebar of history with the history button more. I tried to customize the toolbar and download the Restorer Classic theme. Neither worked help would be appreciated.
Does it mean that nothing happens when you click the history button and choose View history Sidebar?
And nothing happens when you click the taskbar button side story provided by classic restaurateur theme?
What happens when you hold the Ctrl key and press H?If none of the works above, restart Firefox with disabled modules and test again. Of course the button provided by the Restorer of classic theme will be temporarily unavailable.

I tried to update Firefox and repeatedly getting this message: "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now? "If I click on no, nothing happens." If I click Yes, it restarts and I get the same message all over again. I tried to uninstall the program and get the same message, even in Safe Mode. I tried to start with a configuration of the previous system, but the computer would not give me the dates of previous configuration. I am running XP, and I deleted Internet Explorer, so I can't access the Internet on this computer. I tried to install the update by downloading the upgrade on another computer and transfer it to a flash drive, but I got the same results. If I go to control panel configuration/Add / Remove Programs, it says I have Firefox Version 13.0.1. For about 6 months before this incident, I get a message when I load Firefox, who said that he could not install an update attempt. If I clicked OK, at least he'd still go the old version. Now, he will do even that.
Hello, the installation of #3 in the initial response folder is referring to the entire directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox", not any subfolder or file in particular. If the directory is still present after uninstalling firefox via the windows control panel, and then if it please delete the whole folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" & try reinstalling firefox afterwards.

I have a problem with the history of Bing. I clear the history and turn it off. Later, when I use bing history is preserved and turns. How can I keep decommissioned and erased history? What a Bing, IE8, Microsoft problem?
Hello
1. is the question confined to the history of Bing?
2. what web browser do you use?
3. If you are using Internet Explorer, which r version of Internet Exploreris installed?
If you are using Internet Explorer 8, it gives you the option to automatically remove your browsing history each time you quit the browser. The type of data that is deleted is dependent on of which options are checked in the delete browsing history.
one) to set up IE to delete browsing history on exit first click on the Tools menu, located to the far right of the tab of your browser bar.
(b) when the drop down menu appears, select Internet Options.
(c) click the menu Security , located to the far right of the tab of your browser bar. When the drop down menu appears, select the option delete browsing history... .
(d) the window delete the browsing history should now be visible coming to overlap your main browser window.
(e) check the options you want to remove and click OK.

I tried to change the settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Good or bad, I changed a setting Java-1 to 2. The setting spoke in: config and I think it was some sort of max. As I can't open anything, I'm not sure.
When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, whenever I tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it hangs again immediately and will not reopen.
Hi pternagy,
Sorry, you have problems.For any future reference. Those of us who mess directly with: config soon find out how to get errors and it is wise to backup. Occasionally backup of your entire profile for example can be useful and would probably give you a quick solution of the copy on the file from the backup.
OK on the topic to try to get Firefox back as it was:
Find your profile and the prefs.js file and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your default preferences. You can then re open and use Firefox. Then, try to return to normal.Try to manually change the file prefs.js is normally a bad idea. However, if this is a one-time change prefs it would be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (while Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before. You have the file renamed to work with. Probably best to test this in a new additional profile so only break you test additional essential Firefox profiles profiles works do not.
