Bookmarks are gone!
 

They were on my pc when I left for work this morning. My roomie was on my PC during the day. I flipped on the pc and opened firefox and no bookmarks!

Anyone have an idea how to retrieve them? Or are they lost forever?

Look here
C:\Documents and Settings\<useraccount> \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.gsl\bookmark s.html

replace <useraccount> with the account name you use to log into Windows.

Okay, thanks OC, I found the backup, I tried renaming it and it's still not showing up. any ideas? Sorry, I'm a moron

Sometimes when Firefox does an update that happens to me. It's a PITA, but I just rebuild them and move on.......

okay, got them! Yay!

thanks OC and WB!

My roomie has a much newer and nicer laptop than my old pc, why she uses it when I'm at work is beyond me! :mad:

Password protect it and she won't be able to use it anymore.

Another solution to the losing-bookmarks thing... I've stopped using bookmarks and only use del.icio.us, which means I can access my tagged sites from any computer!
