PC crash - Firefox lost everything

Post by **Whiskey 7** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:37 am

Help please...

My PC just crashed to a blank screen and restarted OK but my default browser Firefox has lost everything

Bookmarks (homepage set to the original Google one I think), quicklinks and history :icon23: all gone...

Is there a way to recover the setup/files easily?

I could uninstall and reinstall but await advice as I don't won't to wipe out the files that may be there....

you can create a new profile and use the info that FF has stored from your old one. check out this page for more info.

Lifesavers, both of you.

Huge thanks +JuggerNaut+ and Sanction.

Worked pretty well indeed. Can't seem to recover the 'quicklinks' but most everything else seems OK.

Cheers & thanks again :icon14: :icon14:

PS backs up profile ~ Just in case
