The day I lost my bookmarks...
 

...all 600 of 'em. :cry:
I was getting a weird error after installing Google Accelerator (although I don't think this was the problem) so I uninstalled Firefox and nuked my profile.
Big mistake, I lost every bookmark I'd kept for about 2 years, my password file, plus cookies which means that I now have to do the usual "forgot your password?" :rolleyes: thing every time I visit one of my websites.
This sucks.

BACK UP YOUR PROFILE PEOPLE!

You should have backed up your profile (oops). MozBackup is pretty helpful to avoid future occurrences :)

I've been using the Bookmark FTP Sync. extension since the early beta's... it's best way (other than the portable installation) to keep multiple installs on the same set of bookmarks.

Thanks for the reminder - so I've just done mine (bloody painkillers don't work and I can't have another till 6! :D )

How do you backup your profile?

I had a problem even launching firefox after installing the accelerator but a reboot cleared that problem up. Never mind Rich, sometimes you learn your lessons the hard way :( Have you never exported youor faves list to use on another PC?

Hmm, I recently re-installed my OS so I must have backed them up somewhere.
Trouble is, I'm sure I deleted the backup file.

Poo :( I've got a copy of mine one each of the PC's and the laptop here and I'm going to do the same with Elaines' bookmarks. Goodluck finding them, you never know, you may find a little HTML file somewhere that will cheer you up ;)
