So I restarted my computer yesterday and when I opened up Firefox all my bookmarks had vanished. I know I didn't delete them or do anything to it directly to remove them. Anybody got any bright ideas?

I'm holding them for ransom. If you want to see them alive, deposit $500 into my Paypal account and wait for further instructions. :twisted:

That happened to me a couple of times with FireFox also. Take a look in your profile directory (Documents and Settings\---name---\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxx) and see if there is a backup of your bookmarks. Both times mine dissappeared I was lucky that a backup was there so I just renamed it.

Also, now I use one of the bookmark syncranizers that are listed on the site (bookmarks_synchronizer-1.0.1-fx.xpi). I LOVE using this. I set up all my bookmarks just the way I wanted them, for both my laptop, work computer, and home computer .. merged everything into one. Now, whenever I add new links I just "sync" them .. it uploads an xml to my ftp server and I can always keep my computers in sync. But, better yet, it keeps a complete backup of my bookmarks for me :)

also, sometimes spyware will change your Firefox user to something wierd.
My bookmarks went poof but turned out that my Firefox User was swicthed.

You will have to look up how to change your use but should be a simple google.

Make a copy of the files (just to be safe) and rename the bak one to a html file and see if that works

hey Rom, sort of the same thing happened to me just a few days ago and i found this:

http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile


i dont know if this could be causing your specific problem but it worked for me. Here is the command for it:

Quote:
# Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu.
# Enter firefox.exe -profilemanager and press OK.




hope that helps. :)
