Lost ..

[Ivy]

I installed mozback and selected ''backup profile'' , What happens now, how does this help? Is it gonna keep making backup for the new bookmarks that I keep adding ?
If yes then where can I see this back up thing?

And do I have to make some sort of profile for mozila?

I don't understand any of this.

Thankyou

Firefox stores the bookmark in the following location...use Windows Explorer to get there:
Documents and Settings/User Name/Application Data/Mozilla/FireFox/Profiles/Default....
There should be a bookmarks.html file and bookmarks bak.

You can try pointing FireFox there and importing the file to see if this loads them.

Thanks a lot Patio , I'll do as you said.

Thankyou .

Good Luck and let us know.
The MozBack program cannot restore them right now because they are'nt being shown right now so a backup would be of what you have now.
If this fix works then run MozBack to create a backup, just to clarify...

There is another, much more manual, method.  It took me a while to find it.  It allows you to export your bookmarks to, or import your bookmarks from, a desitination of your choice.

Bookmarks --> Manage Bookmarks --> File --> Export --> (save)

Bookmarks --> Manage Bookmarks --> File --> Import --> From File --> Next --> (open)


I'm currently using Mozback, too -- I just thought I'd mention this.

I went there and pointed some bookmarks there and they were loaded.

Is this what I was supposed to do?

Alrighty I lost my bookmarks again, now where do I find those bookmarks that I had saved in some profile thing?

Did you try, dear Ivy, to use MozBackup to restore your bookmarks?

Also, I'm stealin' Patio's advice!  Kindly see if there's a folder there.

[Ivy]

Yes I did, let me check the folder thing..
