JoWie Posted November 24, 2006 Report Posted November 24, 2006 Bookmarks missing after installing Firefox 2 on Windows Some Windows users are reporting that their bookmarks are missing after upgrading to Firefox 2. This problem is caused by the installer not properly detecting all Firefox processes (bug 357922). In this case, the bookmarks are not lost. To restore the "missing" bookmarks and fix other problems that may be related to the upgrade: Uninstall Firefox, check the task manager for firefox.exe in the process list (don't forget to check other Windows XP users) and reinstall Firefox 2. The bookmarks will be back to normal. So basicly, the easy way would be to uninstall Firefox, restart your computer, install it again. If this doesn't work, Firefox creates up to 5 daily backups of your bookmarks:%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\bookmarkbackups\ Where the file %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\bookmarks.html are your current bookmarks. just browse to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ to find out your profile name
Samapico Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 the problem isnt the bookmarks... its that it cant connect to any sitesImportant: If you cannot get any website to load and you just updated your browser' date=' it is almost certainly your firewall blocking the connection.

Samapico Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 hmm, I thought by 'screwed up' he meant that it didnt connect to anything... nvm, I probably confused these 2 topics
