Lost Firefox Bookmarks

[BrOkEn ArRoW_29]

My computer just restarted itself for no reason and now I have lost a lot of my bookmarks. Somebody please help me with this because I have so many and don't want to lose them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is no way to get them back unless you made a backup. Fatal Rose had the same problem a while back.

 

Lesson: Always backup your bookmarks.

Please, you can't be serious!?! There has got to be some way.

look in the hidden application folders. There should be a html file that contains all your book marks somewhere

Is there? Are you absolutely sure?

They should be there. This same thing happend to me in June. I searched all over the "documents and settings" folder

 

should be in "directoryname:\Documents and Settings\<ownername>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vvdy28if.default"

I looked in there. Everything is all there but randomly all my bookmarks from the letter N on got deleted.

Seems that the deleting is sometimes random and sometimes it wipes everything.

So there is absolutely no way of getting my bookmarks back?

Word of advice, always back up your bookmarks (and anything related to FireFox in general) regularly. This happened to me MORE then once.

No. What's gone is gone.
