Bookmarks on Firefox...

[Luke]

Anyone experience problems with loosing these?

Every so often my internet decides not to load, so I have to restart the computer. On doing this, when I click back onto Firefox I have lost all my bookmarks - I have got to relogin everywhere (Sax-P, E-Mail, Facebook etc).

Just wondered if anything I can do to stop this?

I've never heard of that problem before!

Just out of interest what version of firefox you running?

Mine didn't auto-update to V3 so went on the website and got it... it's all pretty

save all your bookmarks mate! click on the bookmarks toolbar then organise bookmarks, then in the lil window click on export bookmarks, save them where u will remember, then next time it happens do the same but click on import

jobs a good un

The asner to your question is no i dont know how to stop it.

hope it helps

You mean cookies, not bookmarks? Bookmarks are the shortcuts you store to the sites, cookies store login info.

It's a security feature with most sites and good browsers. Cookies time out after a certain period of time.

oh in that case go,

Tools>options>privacy tab>then accept cookies from sites and keep until they expire

Ive had that happen twice now. Internet fcuks up, reload firefox then all my bookmarks have disappeared. Gets quite annoying tbh.

Cheers everyone.

I do mean Bookmarks though, not cookies! I'll the saved sites I have on my toolbar just disappear, but at the same time I do lose my login information - it's like I'm starting up with a new browser. I'm using V2 as I don't like 3.0.

I'll save them now too, didn't realise I could do that.

Rep will be dished out laters.

Goto: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\ Profiles and tell me how many there are?

If there is more than one that means Firefox has made a new profile for some reason... It does it everynow and again at work and at home, all you need to do is find the one with all your bookmarks in etc - Just copy all files starting with bookmark over to the profile your using currently and restart firefox - problem solved.

(If you're unsure which profile is the lost one, click the "bookmarks.htm" file to see which has the most recently saved bookmarks.)
