I lost my Firefox bookmarks....


Recommended Posts

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...

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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!

Try reading host post again. It hasn't been confirmed WHY the bookmarks disappear. 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

Haha you are funny. "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.. He knows what I'm talking about. Nothing is bug free.

What I meant is they are so cocky and proud, sure closed source software has serious problem but usually there are not religious fanatics behind it.

LOL, when you come up with a real explanation leave a message :whistle:

Every piece of software has bugs.. and they probably always will. 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:

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.
