Hi everyone

I've been using firefox for a couple of years now but every so often the bookmarks keep getting reset. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know the cause of the problem and how to fix it?

Hi mate, I have never had this problem myself but I have seen it a few times. I'm not sure my advice will solve the problem but its worked with others.

Start > Run and type firefox.exe -p

Or the full path if you like

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p


This will bring up the profile manager to create a new profile. Keep in mind that you will be on default settings so you might need to import your bookmarks again.

Make a backup of your bookmarks you have now before you preform the steps above.

Open firefox go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks File > Export and save them thats if you are not already doing this.

I would keep backing them up until I was sure the problem has gone.

Let me know how you get on mate.

Thanks. Will try new profile tomorrow with back ups. The annoying thing in the past is not keeping a back up of the bookmarks, I don't bother with bookmarks now.
