firefox book marks

I've lost the lot. anythoughts on how to get em back ?

 

search for bookmarks.html
Mine lives in
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/defaults/profile/bookmarks.html

 

Did your machine crash while mozilla was open??? I have come across this
problem when the system crashes. Same applicable to the history.dat file.

I would first do a search for bookmarks.html on the whole computer and
make a copy of them all and put in the new folder. Then check the
FOUND.000 or what ever folders to find the files that chkdsk/scandisk
repairs for you. If the bookmarks have dissapeared because of a windows
crash, you will find at least some of the remains of you crosslinked
bookmarks file in the recoverd files folder.
You should be able to open the correct file in a txt editor and atleast
extract some of the bookmarks.

That is the only down fall of mozilla is the fact that the program loads
a large section of it's bookmarks in memory. Can get slow if you have a
large bookmark file. Least it doesn't crash like IE. I normally just
setup computer to backup the bookmark.html and history.dat files every
few days.
