Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I bookmarked a page of a website today and when I attempted to bookmark another I was unable to do so. I checked the troubleshooting advise here and I tried to restore my bookmarks to an earlier date, but that attempt failed. After that, all my bookmarks disappeared and I'm unable to bookmark anything at this point.

I've attached a screenshot of what it says in the Places Database.

Thank you. Deborah

Ich habe versehentlich ein Passwort in dem Passwortordner gelöscht und benötige diese Passwort aber wieder. Wie komme ich an das Passwort wieder heran.

Vielen Dank

OBJECT : Le système de marque-pages et d’historique n’est pas opérationnel, car l’un des fichiers de Firefox est en cours d’utilisation par une autre application. Certains logiciels de sécurité peuvent provoquer ce problème

I would like to have a solution to reactivate all the bookmarks in the personal bar.

Best regards

after this last update, all my bookmarks are gone, I read the restore article and did everything, but the profile folder is empty, I do have an external harddrive that I use to back up every week, but I don't know how to use it to restore the bookmarks

Good morning, Woke up, noticed my screen on (was in sleep mode), guessed PC had restarted itself overnight, that happens, opened Firefox, click sandwich Click History "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed windows" are not options I can click...

what the heck please help! I'm going back to bed....

On my linux system, I have two users. If I log in as user A and use FF and leave a bunch of tabs open, I can view those tabs again later if I restart my computer and log in as user A, so FF remembers its history.

No Problem Scenario Logged in as A - open FF - open a bunch of tabs - CLOSE FF log out of A log in as B - do stuff log out of B log in as A - open FF; all the tabs are there

Problem Scenario Logged in as A - open FF - open a bunch of tabs - leave FF open (don't close FF before...) log out of A log in as B - do stuff log out of B log in as A - open FF; all the tabs are GONE

If I run into the Problem Scenario, I can sometimes use these steps to get the history/tabs back. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup

Whether the steps work or not, the Problem Scenario is annoying. I don't know what causes this. My desktop manager is KDE.

I had to replace my hard drive recently, and with it my Firefox install. I managed to transfer everything over to the new install, except for the URLs in Reading List. The extension itself made it over; just not any of the URLs I stored in it.

In theory, I know that I can scrounge through the Firefox install on my old hard drive and grab the necessary files, but I have no idea how I'd go about doing that. I can't rely on folder names, since those are based on extension IDs that are generated when I install the extension, and the files themselves are too opaque to glean anything useful from (Notepad++ didn't turn anything up, so I'm assuming the extension data's compressed).

Other than that, I've tried:

• Running this tool to see if there was anything I could use. There wasn't.
• Trying Load Temporary Add-ons to identify the Add-on I wanted. I accidentally erased my feeds on RSS Feed Reader doing this, so there's another extension whose data I need to restore. (It was fine before I tried Load Temporary Add-ons.)

Ok so I never made a proper backup with Mozilla/Firefox I just dumped the whole Appdata folder on a HDD as I wasnt fully sure what I needed before a reinstall

Now after my reinstall (Still got old windows working on another HDD) I put back the appdata but I cant get my passwords or bookmarks to appear again. Did I mess up?

New computer upgrade from MS10 to MS 11 365. I lost all bookmarks for internet locations. How do I retrieve them? Where is the new bookmark access icon on the Firefox home screen?

My bookmarks disappeared from Firefox yesterday and I cannot restore them. In addition Firefox will not make any new bookmarks at all!? I have tried all the restore options advised: - Turning Firefox off and on. No good - Turning laptop off and on. No good - Windows security is up to date. Still no good - Going to Manage Bookmarks to Restore. None there to restore (possibly because of a CC Cleaner clean?). No good - I was able to find my profile and bookmarks back up. That would not open or load. I was able to find the Jefferson Scher software and use it to process a JSONLZ4 bookmarks file and export/download a HTML version. If I open the downloaded file I can click on that list of bookmarks to link to them (yay). But I cannot copy this list to the Book marks bar!? - I have tried to add some of these links as bookmarks again in Firefox, but no bookmarks appear in the bookmarks toolbar. So I am not sure what is wrong. Please help. Grateful any advice

Suite à la mise à jour de Firefox avec l'arrivée des nouveaux profils, j'ai perdu tout ce que j'avais enregistré sur ma session : tous mes mots de passe, mes marque-pages ainsi que les données de mon compte. Impossible de les retrouver ou de récupérer les données de mon compte initial. Je ne comprends pas ce qu'il s'est passé et surtout, j'aimerais savoir comment faire pour récupérer mes mots de passes et marques pages qui ont disparus ??
