Oh nohs...
Something weird happened that deleted everything my bookmarks :O
Now it's all empty :'(
Can it be retreived?
I have Norton UnErase btw.. but not sure what to UnErase :S
I am using Firefox... I guess i can re-import the Favourites from IE but that'll be the old stuff.
Any suggestion before I do that?

Hmm im thinking your FF user profile got confused.....

Try seeing if the bookmarks are still in

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Ok.. i looked in there and i only found the following:
[Profiles]
profiles.ini
pluginreg.dat

And if i open Profiles.. going deeper I found "bookmarks.html" which is a blank page.

EDIT (un-related): What the.. i replied to Deus's post yet his post is placed after mine lol

Aww.. well I guess I have to re-import IE's Favourites.

Another change I've noticed was the bookmarks toolbar were not shown and I assume that the toolbar should still show up even when theres nothing to show.. (i.e. a blank bar)
Hmm..

What you have described is standard Mozilla Foundation procedure. As part of their taking back of the Internet, your bookmarks will periodically be beamed back to home base.

To resolve the situation, email the foundation and explain that, while you are happy to help them in their mission to take the internet back, you would greatly appreciate being given your cut.
