Better still get the xmarks add-on (formerly foxmarks) - Xmarks Features: Bookmark Sync (http://www.xmarks.com/about/features/bookmark_sync)

Allows you to backup / synch your bookmarks across different computers - so if your FF profile crashed you don't lose 'em Works with IE etc too.

I have recently had the same problem with Firefox and XP Pro

I have just installed the latest Firefox update and :- problem solved!

Just played with V3.5 beta, it keeps losing passwords :ugh:

I've now un-installed it , I cant be bothered with it at the moment.

Every few days firefox tells me its downloaded summat and I am now running the latest version,the original firefox was great why dont they just leave bloody things alone.:suspect:
Tried some of the stuff suggested on those links I cant even find the folders they are yacking about.:(
I am thinking of going back to IExplora,wish I could import the bookmarks from firefox though.

There was a thread on here about that not long ago, I'm sure a search will find it.

If you are on FF2, there ain't no more updates, as they are only updating v3.x now. Peace, bliss! :ok:

A good example of the truism

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
