    Fuck! I lost all my bookmarks in FF

    Damn, suddenly all of them are gone, hundreds of valuable bookmarks gone. I did not install anything at all nor did something funny.

    Any help much appreciated

    thunderbird did the same thing to me today, but with all my email... but i got it back *thank god*

    go look in THIS folder... see if you can find anything...
    C:\Documents and Settings\YOURNAMEHERE\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    Make sure you turn on invisble folders... at least save it all if theres a folder in there -- thats where all your bookmarks SHOULD be.

          Damn I`m seeing this happening all the time.
          I love FF but something got screwed in the latest release or some extension was screwing it up for me so I switched to Opera.And I think I`m staying here.Much faster and much more stable.

            I turned on invisible foldes, but the funny thing is that I only have two folders there, one called "Microsoft" and the other "PGP", there is no "Mozilla" folder.

            Thanks man

                I wouldn`t do that...search around with google first.System restores are for OS screw ups, not individual programs I think.

                  I guess you're right, it did not work.

                    Bookmark Backup is a simple extension that helps to keep your bookmarks (and optionally other Firefox settings) safe. Each time Firefox is closed, a copy of your bookmarks file will be made to a backup location. If Firefox's bookmarks become corrupted or lost, find the most recent uncorrupted backup and copy it into your profile folder.

                                  If there is one thing you have to do no matter what you use, its backup everything. I keep multiple backups of bookmarks, e-mail folders, image folders, everything data related you have to get in the habit of constantly backing up.

                                  Anything can happen to fuck you up. If you have backups on different machines you'll always be ok.
