Accursed Firefox

[Dr. Dos]

FireFox you know I love you, but this is the SECOND time you've deleted all my bookmarks, and it's a real pain to try and remember them all.<br><br>Anybody ever have this happen to them and any solutions?<br><br>(besides USE IE/OPERA/MOSAIC)

[Ibun]

Yes. Backup your bookmarks folder somewhere on your computer. (When you re-bookmark them that is.)

[Dr. Dos]

ok any solutions, at this moment?

[Holyman83]

No I have never had that happen to me.<br><br>Try using the history to help.<br><br>I've had to reformat my computer so many time I have every thing backed up.<br>

I always save links I want to keep in my own HTML document and keep it with me. That way I don't need to rely on the bookmark implementations in any of the web browsers. It isn't that hard to copy and paste a URL into a text document, and an HTML document is not much more complex than that. As a side benefit, I can take backups of that document anywhere, on a floppy or a CD, and use my set of "bookmarks" anywhere.<br><br>Because I have a homepage, I can also upload it there from time to time, so I have someplace to fall back on even when I can't use a floppy or CD... and if I can't get to that, then I'm probably not able to go online to any of the other links anyway. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I use Avant Browser; it's based off of IE, but takes care of many of the annoyances that IE had. Plus, it adds some nice features.<br><br>I have FireFox, IE, Opera, and Netscape all instlaled on my computer, but I rarely use them.

[Dr. Doog]

damn [oh my!], I hate when that happens. if your computer ever locks up or anything, and you have a netscape affiliated browser, it wipes the bookmarks. they should really fix that bug. like everyone else says, keep an exported copy of your bookmarks.
