Hello everyone,
1) already use the fast dial a certain time, my problem is this, I use firefox on three different occasions, one in windows 7, one in the fedora 12 and one in the pen drive (portable firefox) to synchronize my bookmarks with the three firefox, I use xmarks, which is very good by the way, now I would like to know how best way to save the logos if i change in one firefox and the other two change their fast dial logos too?
2) Today I was tidying my fastdial logos, since I saw that he accepts the url of the logo, but I accidentally deleted the fast dial folder and then i restore bookmarks fast dial with xmarks , only the logos are gone ... what do I do?
Help me please.
3)Which is the best way to manage the logos?
Best regards,
Valter Henrique.

I presume that you mean the Fast Dial Folder in Bookmarks..
Is that right ?
All bookmarks and Logos in Fast Dial are stored in Firefox bookmarks (places.sqlite)
So in theory at least, if you restore an earlier version of Bookmarks from an earlier backup (that is before this problem occurred) you should be able to restore your Fast Dial folder.
[Bookmarks are automatically backed up in recent version of Firefox.
The back up is of the JSON type]
Go to bookmarks/organise bookmarks/import and backup
The restore, and then chose a suitable date.
That should restore a previous version of your bookmarks, which will include the Fast Dial folder that you deleted (hopefully)
However I would think it a good idea to switch off the synchonisation with xmarks, while you are doing this, as it complicates matters don't you think...

What do you want to happen ?
Do you want all of your different fast dials to be the same or different ?
If you want them not to synchronise, then rename your fast dial folder in bookmarks in each machine to a different name.
Also right click on the new name folder and select Fast Dial make home.
That will make sure that your newly named folder becomes the root folder of Fast Dial.
The Fast Dial Folder is in Bookmarks Menu , and can be seen by going
Bookmarks/Organise Bookmarks

These were two different posts of how users used xmarks to recover their bookmarks while using xmarks.

Submitted by mascaranegrayoko on Sat, 04/24/2010 - 08:02Hi, thanks for the quickly answer, but i don't have how to recover my bookmarks by firefox, because i don't had made any backup before, i just use fast dial, i think the export function in fast dial will export all the information that i need to one file and then i could import this bookmarks and logos in the others firefox.
And i want to syncronize the logo, like i do to syncronize the bookmarks, because we can put the url from logo, so i wish i could put the url logo in one bookmark and this logo
appears when i used another firefox, is that possible?

It does not matter
As I said before the backups by Firefox are automatic.
Please restore your bookmarks like this:
The longer you leave this decision the less chance there is of recovering your bookmarks, as these backups are automatic.
So for example now your last bookmarks will have been of bookmarks without the Fast Dial Folder.
So try to find an earlier backup where Fast Dial was still in bookmarks.
Do you understand :
You can also see here, but the recovery of bookmarks there although using exactly the same method is for a different original problem.
Please see here
I am not sure I understand your:
And i want to syncronize the logo, like i do to syncronize the bookmarks, because we can put the url from logo, so i wish i could put the url logo in one bookmark and this logo

But if all your fast dial folders in all your machines have the same name, then xmarks will automatically synchronise all your Fast dials, as Fast dial is a bookmarks folder.
However what I do not quite understand is that if you for example delete the Fast dial folder in bookmarks, how does xmarks respond to this.
That is why I suggested switiching off xmarks whiile you try to recover the fast dial folder in Bookmarks.
When you have recovered the Fast DIal folder, I personallly would restart firefox, then make a BACkUP of Bookmarks in Bookmarks, then I would backup your Firefox Profile with FEBE
Then and only then would I enable xmarks
Once you have set up FEBE, I would recommend you backup your proflile on a regular basis. It is easy to do once FEBE is set up.
Please see details here

there are two questions.
First is concerning the loss of your cells.
Have you resolved ?
Please give some feedback on this question...
You will need to refresh the page to see the logos
It is important to do this first, with xmarks disabled
But i'm asking how to syncronize the logos in different firefox?
I have already answered this question.
Xmarks synchronises bookmarks
Fast dial information is stored in bookmarks
If in each computer the name of the Fast DIal folder in bookmarks is the same ie Fast Dial, then your Fast Dials will synchronise.
I believe also with xmarks you can backup to xmarks.com
Do you do this ?

please try and relate them to my previous comments.
Please give clearer feedback about all of this.
Many thanks

It would seem that if you go to xmarks for a backup you will see this menu:

Submitted by mascaranegrayoko on Sun, 04/25/2010 - 19:45Hey , thanks by your attention in my case, i appreciate.
So, i try to restore my bookmarks with xmarks, but no sucess.
I mean, i can restore my bookmarks but not the logos i already had set before from my fast dial.
That's all for now.
