batami Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have used Mozilla Firefox for a long time now and am very happy with it. Today, I put my lap top into stand by mode when I started back up and accessed Firefox it came up with safe mode, then I continued to open it and find that all my bookmarks, personal icons and tools have disappeared and it looks like a completely new and "unused" version. I cannot find a help topic that solves this Anyone had this before and found a solution - i want to get back to the original version I "know and love" Any help advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batami Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 This should help:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks cdnvic thanks for that - at least I have found the bookmark back up and saved a copy in a "safe place' but found I cannot respore to the Mozilla page bookmark list. Also I now realise what I did wrong - when it opened in safe mode i inadvertantly checked the boxes which said restore defaults (toolbars, bookmarks, etc.) Bit of a stupid thing to do, in haste rather than by being slow and careful! I need to search to see if i can find the original toolbars - any ideas... appreciate your help - at tleast I ahve the valuable info that I thought I ahd lost B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Do you have "System Restore" enabled? If so, you may find a restore point that has your previous FF configuration in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
