Firefox 1.07 just ate my bookmarks

All my bookmarks are gone! I've found advice that says you must find
bookmarks.bak, rename it to bookmarks.html and restore it. Sadly the bak
file on my pc was only 1k. I had an old back of the file from July so I
have some back but not ideal. I really had a comprehensive list of sites in
the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder and now I have to update it.

It's not all bad as I have an account with www.furl.net and had copied
everything to that some time ago. That's more of an archive though and not
something you'd use to quickly access sites in my opinion.

If anyone has a way of retrieving my latest bookmarks feel free to post.

thanks

 

Check under View, they may be there. Good Luck

 

You may have been given a new profile. In Windows Explorer do a search
for bookmarks.html on C:\Documents and Settings including subfolders and
hidden folders.

 

Thanks, that was a good idea. There's a backup folder there with a version
from September which has improved things. I'm going to use furl more often
though...

You got lucky. Start using the export function of your browser. each
month I export my bookmarks, just in case.
