<div class="IPBDescription">What The Hell Happened Here!!?!?</div> I've just come back to my desktop after 30-40 minutes
on FarCry and launched Mozilla to check on some XSI
tutorials. So I click "Favourites" from the Mozilla toolbar
and get this:

Where in the hell has all my bookmarked pages gone?

Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Anyone know how to fix it?

    You didn't download the Bookmark Backup extension?! Oh dear.

    In the Application Data folder (at least, in Windows2000), go to Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and select bookmarks.html. See what is written in it.

    Try changing the appearance of your windows in your Display properties.

    What happens when you select one of the links in the bookmarks?

    Click on Manage Bookmarks in your Bookmarks folder and see what it says there, too. Just for fun.

    That looks weird...it looks like the bookmarks are still there o_O

    Tried clicking one of them?
    EDIT : I find it ironic that the icon for Mozilla is a dinosaur and it ate his bookmarks o_O

    It happens to me sometimes. But not with favorites only but with all drop-down menu commands.

    What solves is that I change the refresh rate of my monitor (then back to the previous value again). At least for me... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    OMGZERS j00 u$3 IE?!?!?!!!!11one1


    It is bugs like that one that have always driven me away from the more 3rd party browser programs. I don't need to spend 10 minutes every other day when some bug surfaces. Losing my favorites was one of the most annoying things I ever encountered.

    IE may crash, but at least it doesnt delete stuff as it is going down in flames.

    Let's not start debating the merits of using each browser. There are bugs, vulnerabilities, and issues with every browser. It's up to the uesr to decide what bugs/security issues he or she is willing to tolerate.

    Nope. Instead it just opens up all kinds of vunerablities and all that other fun stuff.

    Is this the plan? Open up a thread with a help request, and then ignore it?!
