XP Problem?
Couple of times this week have had to do a hot reboot,not a operating system prob,tiz related to my graphic card, but when I got back in I found I had lost all my bookmarks cookies history ect,just had to do it again this time my bookmarks are ok but I have lost all my username/password cookies and history for various websites and had to request new username and password from them,this never used to happen with Win 98, hit the reset button and the machine rebooted just fine with no loss of data,is this a problem with XP in general or is it just me?
Tiz not a big problem just bloody inconvenient.

I think Firefox uses the same folder as IE - simply pinches the contents for display.
As for passwords, I keep all mine in Passkeeper, from http://www.isys.hu/staff/brad (hope that still works!).
Mind you, you still need to remember the password to get into it.
Edited to say, sorry, the link doesn't work - try Googling Passkeeper - it must still be available somewhere.

Go to documents and settings
All users or the name of the user you are working under
Application Data
Mozilla
Firefox
Profiles
Default or the name of the folder showing
bookmark backups
In that last folder are copies of your Firefox favourites, which you can export back into Firefox using the bookmark manager.
