Argote Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I randomly lost all my bookmarks and settings and extensions one day. I didn't do anything, I left the computer for a class, I came back, and it was all gone. It's like firefox uninstalled itself, then reinstalled itself fresh. I was pretty angry... 586081571[/snapback] yeah happened to me too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmutik1013 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I had this happen to me too. Good thing I backed up three days before that. I think it might be a bug in 1.0.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowbladex Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i went into my user data... there is only one profile, and that is the default. i looked at the bookmarks.html and they are missing... 586081630[/snapback] hmmm.. if they're missing from there i'm not sure my above fix will work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Still those problems are IGNORED by Mozzilla fan boys, usually these fanboys are the same who are on a holy mission to bring Linux and Open Source to the heathens! Djmutik1013 no it has happened to me from time to time since 1.0.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curme Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 They have a bookmark backup extension for Firefox. It has a folder for everyday of the week, so you bookmarks are never more than a day old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mufdvr3669 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i am so ****ed. i just lost probably a thousand book marks 586081557[/snapback] Wow a thousand bookmarks. Ever think of just not bookmarking so much crap, how would you ever go thru so many bookmarks. You also should of backed up your bookmarks also.

Argi Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Happened to me twice... switched to Opera and haven't looked back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorfsPonytail Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 i have a million other things to think about other than backing up my bookmarks. a program that deletes your bookmarks shouldnt be released to the public :s and i have a book mark search, finding what i need is easy.

[bear] Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 yes since the problem effects less than 1 percent? Actually its not even confirmed yet.. all of a sudden the product shouldn't be released at all? I think you are overreacting. We don't even know the source of the problem yet.

amrinders87 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I have been having issues with bookmarks too. They dissappear randomly. After restarting firefox, the show up again. Fire Fox has just too many bugs. Hopefully Microsoft will wow me with IE 7 so I can switch. :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarix Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 dont use so many bookmarks, ive noticed for me over 200+ in my list would crash it, trying to scroll down them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't even know the source of the problem yet. 586081674[/snapback] WHAT not confirmed, that's the problem with open source developers they are in constant DENIAL! If they don't have problem no one else has. Sure it should be released to the public but it should not be labeled as stable or at least still be in BETA. Perhaps at 2.0 release we will see close to bug free Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted June 18, 2005 Global Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2005 I hear Opera is pretty good these days... 586081564[/snapback] troll... he wasn't asking for a new browser, as he says... i cant stress this enough... everyone loses everything important to them. if you have something very important (bookmark, a girls number, a girls contact, etc) YOU SAVE IT RIGHT AWAY!! and make sure you don't lose it!!!!!!!!11!

Kinda hard to fix a problem when you don't know where to start. It seems to be random at this point. I don't use Firefox, but it is a GREAT browser. Since when did we start assuming software is suddenly bug free? When has any company released a perfect piece of software? You take a knowledgeable risk when using a particular piece of software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Thats the problem with open source developers" LOL :laugh: Right so open source has bunches of bugs then eh? So closed source doesn't have the same problems? :sleep: k thx. Real funny stuff man. Nothing is bug free. Lets wait till this bug is confirmed until we start to collect two of every animal and call it the end of the world. :whistle: edit: see chad's post above..

Nothing is bug free. All developers are developers regardless of the way they develop some mistakes will be made. I fail to see how you think open-source programmers are religious fanatics. I guess bringing new software ideas is a crime nowadays. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerby Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I just hope the problem gets fixed, because losing all my settings/extenstions/bookmarks was not a fun thing. But its a great browser other than that, I really have no complaints. But I agree, it's going to be hard to fix since it happens randomly when I wasn't even using it.
