fire fox bookmarks

hi

downloaded latest version, proceeded to clean as I normally do

unfortunately I didn't save the file

but when I opened firefox all my bookmarks

were gone

tried system restore ( went back two days)

but bookmarks didn't return

Please help I can't even think how many sites

there were and password protected 100's

please help Note quasi newbie

Restore bookmark backup:

Start > Run

Type in (Without quotes): "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"

Click OK

Click on the folder, something similar to "q6avd9bw.default"

Rename 'bookmarks.bak" to "bookmarks.html"

If there is no "bookmarks.bak":

Open the "bookmarkbackups" folder

Copy the most recent backup to the previous folder and rename to "bookmarks.html"

That should get back most, if not all, of your bookmarks.

I've heard of this happening to others before, but not very often.
