With the help of files from a Linux saved / home folder hierarchy, how can I get these bookmarks in new installation?
Prior to this announcement, I read the information available on import-export-backup but unfortunately, I became very confused.
Location:
On my PC at home, I backed up my Ubuntu + Mint/home folder [dual-booting to installation] trees on a flash drive. In the two Ubuntu + Mint, I used Firefox 3.6.3
Now, I installed Mint with Firefox 3.6.3 on a new hard drive.
In my new installation of mint + Firefox, how to use the files in my backup folder trees / home to give my new Firefox these same bookmarks?
I have never "exported" or "supported" My Favorites; I just copied my trees set/home folder on a flash drive, assuming that the files would be there when I need them. I see a bookmarks.html file in my new installation, but it seems only toolbar links and not a few bookmarks, I created in the past days. And I don't know what to do with the file "places.sqlite".
Should I find "places.sqlite" files in the backup folder tree / home and copy / paste them somewhere on the new hard drive?
I didn't want to risk experimenting this - could hurt!
Thank you very much.
Firefox 3 and later no longer use bookmarks.html to store bookmarks.
You can restore latest JSON bookmarks in the folder bookmarkbackups or copy places.sqlite on current Firefox profile. Both methods will replace the current bookmarks with the new bookmarks, so I you must preserve existing bookmarks and then export them to a HTML file and import this file later.

Is it possible to plug a USB to my new iPad Pro, to transfer PDF files and some Jpeg files from the USB key with an adapter of lightning? If there is NO adapter, how can I get these files on the USB key and my iPad pro? I need these PDF files transferred my I touch pro. Any suggestions? Please
Thank you
Mike Tingey
The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

After I open a document using Adobe reader DC and want to save it with the help of Save as when I try to open this operation all I get is an empty windo saying save as. This problem just started, note I'm on Windows 7 Prof
Hi sgodwin2468,
Make sure that Acrobat Reader DC is updated Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader.
If the problem persists, try the solution below.
The default "save under" Acrobat/Reader DC dialog box is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat/Reader tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:
