Grrrrrr! All of my guitar chords, sweet webcomics, great photoblogs.... all gone! WAAAAAH! [/b][/color][/quote] I figured. Mine was the same way when I was using Firefox. And this, unfortunately, happened to me more than once. It was never permanent though. Hmm... I don't remember what I did. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theologian in Training Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Common problem, complex solution. It is easier to link you to the fix rather than explaining how to do it [url="http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/fflostbkmk.html"]http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/fflostbkmk.html[/url] Here is another one [url="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1043872"]http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1043872[/url] Edited July 24, 2007 by Theologian in Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I wonder if bookmarks are crunchy ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 It's been too long since I went strolling through the directory tree . . . aren't they in a folder or subfolder of the "chrome" folder . . . how could they be anything but crunchy?

Tink Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 [color="#4169E1"][b]I bet they are crunchy. Super crunchy. And those links make no sense to me, I looked in every Mozilla extension folder and file I could find, and saw nothing. Then again, it's 2am and I'm tired. I'll try again in the morning. Thanks![/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks![/b][/color][/quote] Ok, let's make this simple...look for your firefox profile, and based on the version of firefox you have (check by clicking on the "about" under help). I think that is right, I don't work all that often in Windows anymore. If not, just look for something that says "About" up above the address bar in the browser itself. Once you figure out the version of Firefox you are running, then go here [url="http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/ns7profloc.html"]http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/ns7profloc.html[/url] and follow the directions to get to where it is located on your harddrive. Once you find it, you will most likely see two different profiles, what you want to do is set it to load the default or original profile, that is where all your bookmarks are stored. That should work...and I tried to keep it as simple as possible. If you have any more questions, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 [color="#4169E1"][b]Okay, I am actually quite computer literate, so I knew what the instructions were saying the first time. But I don't have a folder that says 'Application Data' and if I go to the Mozilla folder in Program Files, there's no 'profiles' folder. Therein lies my problem. And I'm running new Firefox 2.0. They don't even have that listed anyway. [/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
