I was clearing my temp folder from my PC in windows 7. While doing so, I accidently deleted some of Mozilla files considering as temp files. After doing so, firefox icon was automatically from taskbar and did not appear after searching from start menu. Control panel shows that the program is still installed. Than I went to program files, and find Mozilla folder and Mozilla icon from there and opened firefox. Now all of my previous history is deleted. Please help me restore my previous history.

Hi, Here is the following steps: 1. Press WindowButton+R, then a run terminal is opened . 2. Enter %temp%, you`ll get all the temp files over there. 3. Now here it shows you every file in temp folder. 4. If you didn`t get your file, then again go to step 1. 5. Enter 'prefetch' in run terminal without using . 6. Then here you get every file or whatever it is.

Hope this will clear your doubts

Unless those files are still in the recycle bin . . . .

Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backups of files that you choose.
