windows right?

set your folder options to show all hidden folders.

go to c:\documents and settings\account name\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\some jarbled numbers and letters.default(should be the only folder there)\bookmarkbackups\

I found backups of the last 5 days in mine.

[le_chic_garcon]

I deleted those last night because I cleared my history and stuff. Damn

[lovethrust]

why would you clear your history?

what were you looking at on the internet?

[le_chic_garcon]

What the fuck is going on? My mozilla just re-deleted all of my bookmarks, changed my homepage to the mozilla one, & changed my settings too.

i always save copies of my bookmarks

[le_chic_garcon]

I am now. I must have some setting that deletes them every 3 weeks and must have accidentally clicked it and now its set.

YOU ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG!

step 2 is supposed to be completely non-sequitur to step 1 which leads to 3's ???? (you did that right) and 4 is supposed to be all caps and lots of exclamation marks (but not too much otherwise that's overdoing it)

eg.

1. cook some instant noodles.

2. wait for computer to explode

3. ????

4. PROFIT!!!!
