Hello Chums...

Figure this one out for me... Wink

...>>>

I have suddenly lost all my Bookmarked Favourites (addresses) in in my Firefox Browser, in their many different Folders.... Cry

...!

One minute they were all there... Kiss

....
The next minute they were all gone... Shocked

...!!

I haven't re-installed Windows or my Firefox Browser, or picked my nose while no one was looking.... Sad

...!
...all I do every now and again is to run my "Registry Mechanic" to sort out all my unnecessary Desktop Shortcuts....as you do...!

Any ideas what happened... Cry

....?

I don't suppose I can get them all back again....(hiding somewhere, perhaps... Roll Eyes

...)...?

Otherwise I have got to start collecting them, all over again... Undecided

...!

..arse... Angry

...!

Paul...got to laugh tho'.... Grin

....

....

Used to happen to me quite often with older FF versions (prior 2.0).

Look here for your profile folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\[Blah]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

If you've got multiple profile folders, try moving the "bookmarkbackups" folder from one to another or delete one of the profile folders, or whatever...you get the idea.

P.S: But do it carefully! Wink

...you are a Gem, Bjorn....

...!

They are all there, as you predicted...
Now I've got the choice of figuring out how to put them all back into my Firefox Browser Bookmark Menu again.....

....or leave them where they are, and click on them each time I want to visit them... Roll Eyes

...!

...time to experiment... Wink

...!

Thanks again, Bjorn... Wink

...!

Paul....Setting fire to a Fox.... Cool
