Important bookmark lost


Recommended Posts

Hey

I've seen a couple of topics on here where peoples bookmakrs in firefox have been lost and its happened to me, everythings reset to defaults...

I've tried looking at the profile, its not there....

It was annoying but i'll get over it...but i had a important bookmark i was using for school and it was extremely helpful in my coursework....

Anybody got any ideas where i can look to try and re-cover it...i think i've used it in the last couple od days but i've looked in histroy (which was wiped out) and cookies but its not there....

It would be great if i could get it back, i cant rember anything about the url and icant find it via google again.

C:\Documents and Settings\$UserName$\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\********.default then look for bookmarks.html or bookmarks.bak

yes i seen that but 90% of people think there profile is c:\program files\Mozilla\Firefox. If its not in the directory i listed above and not in the recycle bin then your SOL. Those things can't just delete themselves and emtpy the recyclebin its self so..

Ack, bad luck, how did it get wiped?

I lost half of my bookmarks a while back, I was angry, I turned off my PC at the back while firefox was running, and stormed out of my room, when I booted it back up I found my bookmark list was only filled half way, the last one on the list had no text, but it still had the icon. Did your PC turn off with firefox open at the time? I think that makes it wipe the bookmarks for some reason... Pretty damn annoying.
