What to do when Firefox clears your bookmarks?

Has anyone ever had this happen before?

You load up Firefox and your bookmarks are completely gone. I plan ahead and export my bookmarks everyone now and again, but it's been happening a lot lately and I keep losing my latest bookmarks because I keep forgetting to update my backup.

Is there anyway to get your bookmarks back right after this happens. Perhaps Firefox makes it's own backup?

this happened to me a few times bt i can't remember how to fix it.

try google though, as it happens to people every now and then.

I probably have over 200 bookmarks easy.

Amount of bookmarks I use a week: Less than 10

B/c Firefox has done this to me a few times, I save my bookmarks (export them) every so often.

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile u will find ur bookmarks.html file there which u can import into firefox

if u dont find it there, (thats the default one not affiliated with windows user accounts)

u will find the other one:
C:\Documents and Settings\[insert windows user acct here]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

if u havent created another firefox profile, it should just be a default folder in ur profiles

remember...u can just import the html file into firefox
