Title: WTF???
Post by: dazie on November 15, 2006, 08:03:51 PM
I had to reboot my stupid machine because it locked up.

It locks up  A LOT.

So I restarted and lo and behold, my bookmarks are gone and I have no search capability in the upper right hand corner.  I mean, it's there, but there are no search engines any more.  When I go to add at least Google, it isn't one of the choices.

WTF?

gah.  I loaded stupid Mozilla 2.0 and I don't like how it looks.  But it works, even though my bookmarks are gone.

I suppose there wasn't much important in there anyway.

OK- this sucks.  Every time I open the damn browser I have to reset the toolbars.  I think something is FUBAR.

I've been fighting the same thing for months.  I don't know what to tell you.

That happened to me and I was able to recover everything. You need to take some stuff from your profile and then delete your profile. Or something. With profiles.

You should search for your bookmark file.  In Firefox, it's called "Bookmarks.html"  and it's usually stored in C:\Documents and Settings\your username or owner or something\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\some funky-named folder.
