They have all disapered on me, how do I get them back?
The only thing I can think of, which is a rather far fetched idea, is try a system restore point from a couple of days ago... Aside from that I couldn't tell you.
This has happened before, and I posted on this forum and someone gave me an answer that worked. But I cant find the post.
Anyone else?
I think I may have accidentally swiched profiles, how do I swich profiles with 1.5?
I cant edit the shortcut....
You could have found it in search but here's what happened.
Your firefox crashed, but the firefox.exe was still running.
When you opened a new firefox it created a new profile because your old one was in use by the crashed firefox.
To copy your bookmarks over go to
c:\documents and settings\your name\application data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Click each profile until you find the one with your good bookmarks.html, then copy it into the other profile folder...or import it into firefox
^ I hate when that happends but if the firefox.exe is running I can't open up firefox untill i terminate it.
Also when you get it back make a backup just in case by going to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > File > Export.
Ya I don't think the profile problem happens anymore since v1.5.
I haven't had it happen to me atleast.
You should also be able to open your task manager and end the process for Firefox, then re-open the application and it will open with the default profile.
Haha, I backup my bookmarks occasionally so shit like that don't happen to me.

I wouldn't say it happens a lot, I mean TC is hardly the most savvy pc user
I use MozBackup.
It will save your profile, themes and extensions.
