[Zeus]

Next time goto bookmarks/organize bookmarks/file/export and make yourself a backup.

[Dymond]

I think I know a way to find your stuff though..
I bet it just created a new profile for you..

go here and look if you have two profiles..

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

try and follow these steps

Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.


Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.


Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!"

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

[Smash Bros]

try looking in your program files.

i have.. and i couldnt find any bookmarks so thats why i made this thread..

hope i can solve this problem before it overwrites :(

If you want Firefox to go super fast beyond the normal config use all these:

browser.cache.memory.capacity - 4096

network.http.max-connections - 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server - 16

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy - 16

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server - 16

network.http.pipelining - true

network.http.proxy.pipelining - true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests - 48

image.animation_mode - once

browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers - 0

plugin.expose_full_path - true

network.http.pipelining.firstrequest - true

nglayout.initialpaint.delay - 0

content.notify.backoffcount - 5 BLANK, don't create if modified for broadband via content commands below

ui.submenuDelay - 0

content.interrupt.parsing - true

content.notify.ontimer - true

content.switch.threshold - 750,000

content.notify.interval - 750,000

content.max.tokenizing.time - 2,250,000

Pasted from a doc I keep laying around. Works quite well for broadband. Gotta create "Boolean" for the commands that are "true/false" for the commands that do not already exist, integers for number commands---just in case theirs any confusion there for beginners.

ive had the bookmark thing happen to me before and it can be retrieved i cant remember how though Deadcert helped me :$

[Dymond]

Damn Vinay thats where it usually is.. Check the other user names and see if it got stashed in there.. but I have retrieved all my bookmarks from a Ghost image by just pulling out that folder..

Its called bookmarks.html if you can find the profile..

[Smash Bros]

why not try searching your HDD for the folder bookmarks.html??

might make it easier for you. unless someone has deleted it off of your pc then it should come up

checked all the user profile folders

but some of them have bookmark html but they only have the default pages saved such as yahoo and so on

i think ive lost everything cuz of this stupid upgrade... grrrr


and ben. ill give that a try also

[Zeus]

There isn't a "bookmarks backup" folder in the "profile" folder? Mine saves the last 5 days.

shouldnt be no. there should be a folder that keeps all of your bookmarks though. no mate what you use. and you might have it confused with the history. no idea where that is kept

No, its bookmarks backups in html with all my bookmarks for the last 5 days, it a function of Firefox and is in the profile folder.

ok then :|

never knew about that lol

[Zeus]

It should be located in the same folder as the "chrome" folder resides.

[Dymond]

yup it is...

[Vinay]

this is all i can see in the folder u told me dave...

[Smash Bros]

vinay it is in teh same folder as chrome. not in teh chrome folder

[Zeus]

Thats the wrong path Vinay. Go into tools/folder option/view and enable "show hidden folders and files" so you will be able to see Application Data folder.

Then follow this path

C:\Documents and Settings\User Account\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

[Dymond]

What he said.. These things are user specific so they will always get stored in your profile directory.
