    No, in Firefox. I forgot how to open the profiles box up but if I do i'll edit my post. It has something to do with adding something under the properties on the icon.

    Edit:
    In some Windows installs, a "Profile Manager" shortcut is placed on the Start menu programs list. For easier access to the Profile Manager, you can also create your own shortcut and place it on your desktop or in another convenient location.

    For instance, to create a shortcut to the Firefox Profile Manager on Windows XP:

    1. Go to the Firefox installation directory (usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox), right click the file "firefox.exe", and select the option "Create shortcut".
    2. Right-click and rename the new shortcut "Firefox Profile Manager", then right-click the shortcut again and select "Properties".
    3. In the Shortcut tab window, place the cursor at the end of the path inside the Target box, click once (so that the path is no longer highlighted) then add a SPACE and -profilemanager to the end of the path, like so:
    * "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager
    4. Click OK to exit the Properties window.
    5. Drag the new "Firefox Profile Manager" shortcut to the desktop or other location.

    Note: Using -P instead of profilemanager may also work, like so, using the same Firefox example:

    * "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P

    Double-clicking the new shortcut should now start the Profile Manager, assuming Firefox is completely closed and not running in the background, as mentioned above.

    First off, did you back your bookmarks up?

    Second, this is how to open profiles window:

    1. Run > Firefox.exe -profilemanager

    EDIT: Well, it seems the two above me beat me to it, but I will leave it here. Like Diablodj1 said, back up your bookmarks from now on.

    To do that:

    1. Go to the Bookmarks menu and select 'Manage Bookmarks'.

    2. File > Export

    3. Select somwhere to backup the Bookmarks.html file.

    5. To restore: Bookmarks Menu > Manage Bookmarks > File > Import > Find your file.
