I've just opened Firefox, and it's lost all my bookmarks and the shortcuts up the top - where do I need to hunt around to get it all back?

Cheers,
Alex

Right click on the menu bar and select 'Bookmarks Toolbar'. That should help with the bookmark shortcuts.

I had this problem a few months ago. Somewhere on your hard drive there should be a bookmarks folder. Find that and then cut and paste them into firefox.

I have today lost all my bookmarkas as well, although I can see the bookmark in the menu, everything has vanished.

Any ideas where the file is saved to ?

Try from the Run dialog box...

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p

(This didn't do it for me).

If that fails, then do a search on your computer for bookmarks.bak. You will have to search hidden/system files etc. Copy this to your Firefox profiles (AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) (*) folder and rename it to bookmarks.html.

(*) Run that from 'Run', removing the brackets, then after hunting down the bookmarks, rename bookmarks.bak to .html, and stick them in the Profiles folder. That's how I got them back.

Hope the instructions make sense.
