MY Bookmarks are Gone! Thanks Firefox ...for NOTHING!

Posted by VA on Thu, 11/08/2007 - 06:43Your Firefox Switch Stories

I never considered myself a computer wiz, which my be the reason why I like the K.I.S.S. Method (keep it simple stupid) The other day like any other day I happily logged on to my comp and started up firefox. The first thing I notice different was it did not take me to my home page. instead it started asking me to set a default user. Hmmm i thought to myself...is this some kind of up grade? Well I did what I was told ...BAD IDEA! now I have a brand new firefox without the 120 bookmarks I spent the last three years collecting and organizing. Just a few bookmarks that lead me to buy cool stuff for mozilla that I don't need or want. (kinda like the new firefox or whatever it is that happen that dreadful morning) Thanks mozillia for every day I'm without those bookmarks I loose bucket of money and now I have pleaty of time on my hands to do more fun stuff; like restore my computer, try and hunt down all of my contacts  and bookmarks and most importantly look for a NEW WEB BROWSER!

You have know idea what sort of pain and suffering one can cause by not leaving well enough alone or not thinking through your upgrades properly. If anyone has any idea of what happen , and How I can get my old firefox back with my bookmarks please please I beg you, let me know.

thanks

VA

Don't worry

I understand your frustration but with all and any software, you're bound to come across a problem, but that doesn't mean that you simply ditch the software.

Your problem is a very common one and very easily remedied. Chances are, a new Firefox Profile was created and your bookmarks are in your other Profile.

But SpreadFirefox.com is the official marketing site for Firefox, you need Firefox support.
Here are a few links to get you back on track.

Lost Bookmarks
Firefox Support Forums

While Firefox has never permanently lost any of my bookmarks, you may want to consider using an online bookmarking service. They're free, secure, and there are quite a few of them and you can get Firefox bookmark syncing add-ons that keep your Firefox bookmarks synced up with your bookmarks online.

More benefits

And another benefit is that you can sync your bookmarks in Firefox on all your computers, such as work and home or if you have a dual-boot system, both on Linux and Windows for example.
