So I just had a lockup on my laptop. Not that big a deal, I was just surfing, and I rebooted. I get back into Firefox (1.0), and my bookmarks have disappeared.

Not a tragedy, nothing I can't rebuild in about 15 minutes, but what the fuck? Anything like this happen to anyone before?

FF help - Locate your profile folder
Bookmarks file name is bookmarks.html

Sometimes when FF crashes or something, it creates or renames new bookmark file, called bookmarks-1.html.
But always there is then 2 bookmark files, and bigger must be "new" one.

And sometimes when FF crashes it Creates new profile, and old one is maybe still there with bookmarks.
it's also possible that bookmarks are just gone.


edit: Also there is bookmarks.bak file, if filesize is bigger than bookmarks.html file, then your bookmarks are there.
But i'am sure it's overwritten by now, because Firefox saves that always when you close Firefox.

sorry my bad english:)

Firefox has lost my Bookmarks 1 time, but i did lost only few bookmarks, because i save and keep backups in floppy disc (i did make 1 new now).
In case this shitty machine won't start someday.

But firefox has few times created bookmarks-1 file,
like last week, i have not looked what's inside, but filesize is 20kb smaller than this current one, so maybe i just delete that.

ps: I have used FF almost 2 years.

Thanks. There was a bookmarks-1, but it was corrupted. There also was a bookmarks.bak, but it was pretty old. I don't bookmark that much, really, and I just fished them out of my history.

I just thought it was a weird occurrence. Never happened to me on any browser before.
