Good day my computer, good day my WinXP, good day my firefox....
"browse.. browse.. browse.. browse.. hmm this technolgy is kind of like the same as the one that I've read the other day.. let me see.. bookmark.. EIHH?!! where's my list?!! " Dang! I din't think that this kind of prob will befall me someday.. but it happened this morning. So a quick search in the internet provided me a solution to try - it worked! Here's what i did:
1) go to C:\Documents and Settings\[your winXP username]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[some name].default\bookmarkbackups
2) pick the recent most bookmark backup date from the files in this folder.. the one before today. CnP to desktop
3) open firefox bookmark (Organize bookmarks) and import the backup bookmark from (2)
4) done!
Why is my bookmark gone? I think that my WinXP just gave me a new profile and hence Firefox declares that too. So my bookmark is not actually gone but the profile was changed and firefox started as a new installation (run first time). This happened because I replaced my ps2 mouse with a usb mouse. I just yanked out the ps2 mouse out (while power was off), pluged the usb mouse and started my pc.
Well there you go. Hope this will help.. :)
