FireFox Bookmark Woes

[KCD]

I have been running FireFox for 1/2 a year with no troubles.

However, this morning my browser would not allow access to the internet until I assigned it a browser designation even though it was shown to be the default browser. :confused:

So I went through the FireFox procedure & declared it again the default browser.

But when I got on line I then noticed that my bookmarks were gone.:eek:

So went to the Mozilla website to see if anyone else was having trouble but couldn't find the discussion forum.:(

Now I notice that that I'm getting pop ups which I never experienced before.:mad:

Anyone know what is going on? :confused:

I've never run into a problem with bookmarks and FF, so I don't have any ideas there, but here is their forum link:

Two Rails, Appreciate the quick response.

Found that form earlier just didn't dig deep enough & read the posts.:o

Here is the first appearance & apparently I'm not alone:(

Will go thru FF's de-bug procedures & will let the board know the fix when I get the bookmarks back.

Thanks:D

Glad you found something there on it, KCD! Yes, please do post back with the results.

Two Rails & those interested.

Being forced to create another default profile , see 1st post, do not do the following unless you also have created another profile or there is a good possibility that you may loose all your bookmarks.

After several attempts performing FF's de-bug, with no results, I did the following:

Click on Start > Run then type in firefox.exe -P

when the profile I created today came up I requested deletion.

When FF gave me warnings about doing such I continued with the delete.

After that process finished I turned off the computer & rebooted 10 minutes later.

After reloading FF browser didn't come back as quick as it normally does,

but it did come back with all my bookmarks.:D

The only thing I lost was todays history.

Again, if you have not created another profile do NOT follow the above steps.
