    Hey

    so ye, this ia bout the 3rd/4th time this has happend, All the very important bookmarks have been deleted along with the settings.

    I visted the FAQ page of mozilla and learnt how to back up/create a new profile but didnt find out how i can get the bookmarks back (these are important bookmarks)

    I searched in the computing section to find previous thread answering and giving solutions on how to fix it but i didnt find them :(

    Could somone please help me.

    Thanks

    If you really need the bookmarks then you could copy the links to a text document.

    When it does happen again click cancel on the profile manager and ctrl+alt+del and end firefox.exe.
    To get your old bookmarks back go to
    Code:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<NAME HERE>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random letters and number.default thing>\bookmarkbackups
    It will work.

    bookmark backups gives you an html file with links to each link in yor book marks....i suggest the extension because it puts it all back, in order and EXACTLY the way it was, by just a couple clicks....

    I dont have the files with me, They are all deleted and now i dont know how to get them back.

    So how could i possibly back them up without having them first??

    I had about 200+ bookmarks i cant remember each and every site

    see if it is in the book mark file under
    C:/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/Default

    where c is the drive directory and user is your username...
