HELP FAST!

My computer blue screened today. And now all of my precious bookmarks are gone in Mozilla! I really need those bookmarks! What could have caused them to be deleted?

Thanks,
Biz

Did you dig around in the profiles folders in the Mozilla directory? Maybe they just got checked to not appear on the bar or something.

Are you running an older version of Mozilla? (Current version is Mozilla 1.5)

Unfortunately, your bookmarks may be permanently gone, unless you kept a backup somewhere.

For Windows 2000 and XP, profiles are stored in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\xxxxxxxx.slt\

Do you keep backups of your drive?

Do you have Windows XP restore? (I am unsure whether XP saves stuff in user profiles like that)

Do you have any access to a disk recovery program? (It would be near impossible to recover them in this manner, but you might be able to salvage some)

I also noticed that everything went back to defualt settings. Lost my tab browsing and all the settings i had set. The only thing that stayed was my temp files and history. Virus maybe?
