Why do I lose my bookmarks every time Firefox updates? The bookmark file totally disappears.?

Question

Firefox support page and forum are no help. Firefox automatically updates, and all bookmarks disappear and all settings go back to default.

red--you got that from the website. I already said that the website was no help. I have version 5. Please read the question people.

I'm sorry, I mean 1.5. I am trying Dick's plan to see how that goes, but I won't know before it is time to pick best answer I'm sure.

Answer 1

I had the same problem with the last update to 2.0

I tried everything I could but to no avail.

Finally, what I did was delete Firefox using Add/Remove and then searched all Firefox and Mozilla files and folders and deleted them, and then I went into the registry and deleted all references to Firefox or Mozilla.

After I was done, I downloaded and installed 2.0 again and this time everything went just fine....bookmarks and all.

Hope this helps. If you need info on how to do all this email me.

Answer 2

When you say update, do you mean updating Firefox or updating extensions? I can not fix the problem but I can offer an alternative. You can try using MozBackup, a free software program, to save your Firefox profile before updating. You can restore Firefox after each update, which will restore your bookmarks. You can download MozBackup (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/)
