Firefox HELP

[mamajoan]

Help! Firefox ate my bookmarks!

Yesterday Firefox crashed just as I was shutting it down to leave the office. Then the computer blue-screened. I was leaving so I just started it rebooting and left.

This morning I get in, finish rebooting/logging in ... and all my bookmarks are gone!! WAAAAAAH

Obviously it hasn't wiped out my entire profile (or whatever the heck they call it) because when I type in the location bar, it still tries to complete the URL for me. And it still had my cookies (i.e., I was still logged in to LJ). But my bookmarks, my precious beloved bookmarks, where are they? How can I get them back? pleeeeeeze help! *sob*

Try looking for the bookmarks.html file in the Firefox folder? *crosses fingers for you*

I know other people who've had the same problem. I don't know if it's possible to get them back, but there is a doohickey you can add to Firefox to stop it happening again.

You might also just try rebooting your machine. I've worked in software long enough to know that when all else fails, reboot. Your previous reboot may have been incomplete since it was a "forced" one, caused by the crash. It's worth a try, anyway.

BTW, I'm Amanda. I live in RI and work in Cambridge, at a software company.

Hi Amanda. Your company isn't hiring tech writers by any chance, is it? ;)

Sadly, no. It's a fantastic company, especially in terms of it's people, but it's so tiny (20 employees) that we hire very rarely. Check out www.blueagavesoft.com for details and any current openings (though I'm pretty sure we don't have any on the tech side of things). Sorry. :(
