firefox froze - needed ans to msg - unable to do - browser froze - had to delete - reload frm scratch - lost bookm - how do I recover from an older copy of ffox
I had opened ff and i got this empty msg bubble ( as in the newspaper comics ). It required an answer, but I had no idea what it was asking. The only thing that loaded on top line,i.e. firefox file edit view etc. was the word firefox. I could not go any further until msg was answered. I messed with this thing for three days and got nowhere. The only thing that I could figure out was that part of the software code was clobbered. I deleted and reloaded firefox, no luck. I got to the same point every time and the browser stopped. Fortunately I have Safari that was fully operational and was able to continue with the download of mozilla firefox for the Mac. I am using MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5 I finally conlcuded that the only way I was going to get this thing up and running was to delete/uninstall and empty the trash and recreate FIREFOX, which worked, but I LOST everything worse part was all the bookmarks. I can no way remember all of these NECESSARY bookmarks. However I do have, I believe, what is to be an old copy of Firefox. Can I find out if these are the correct bookmarks and if they are can I copy or import to get them merged back into the bookmark files on firefox.
I need some help.
