Aaaah!
It was an odd thing, yesterday Firefox wouldn't let me highlight or scrolling using the mouse wheel. I figured it must of crashed, or something....so I do a reboot. When I come back to continue reading something on the web... ALL MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE! Nooo!  And ... I was just thinking about backing them up because it's getting close to system restore time.
Anyone have a clue of what happend? What I can do?
I open to any ideas, as I had some important things bookmark.
Darn...

That is basically an online thing though isn't it? If your browser deletes bookmarks I didn;t think a sys restore would get that back. Maybe I'm wrong though

Firefox bookmarks are written as an html file. Do a search for bookmarks.html and you should find them as well as a .bak file, which of coarse is a backup file. You can make a copy of the .bak file and rename as an .html to get them back. It may not be up to date but the majority of them should be there.
