I lost all of my bookmarks & buttons in Firefox - WTF?

Awhile ago, my computer was acting unusually strange, and when I started Firefox, all of my bookmarks, buttons and saved username and passwords were no longer saved. Not to mention that my homepage reset itself back to default.

After it started up, Firefox ran MUCH faster (I guess all of the temporary files got deleted or it's using a different folder for them) and my computer stopped acting weird. (I don't think there's a correlation between my computer's behavior and Firefox though. I was running a lot of different programs at once when it was acting up, and I happened to close some of them right before I started Firefox.)

So, if there's a way to recover everything I lost, that would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yo! Sorry I didn't reply for a long time; I had to leave my house for a few days.

Anyway, I managed to get my bookmarks back. I forgot that I had once exported them into an .HTML file when I was trying to figure it out so I could tell my mom how to do it a couple of months ago. So, when I searched for "bookmarks" across my entire hard drive, as Ulysses suggested, I found my file that I exported. I don't remember bookmarking anything since then, so I'm pretty sure I got all of my bookmarks back after I imported that file.

Grawl, from now on, I'll definitely use that program. Thanks!

Arainach, I tried that, but the command lines that I put into the Run prompt simply opened up Firefox. I didn't get any Profile Manager. :/

^-^, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\bookmarks.html just had Firefox's starting bookmarks. None of mine were in it. Also, there was no Mozilla folder in the C:\Documents and Settings\(username or whatever your account name is)\Application Data\ directory. :/ Thanks for the info anyway!

I appreciate the help everybody gave me, regardless if it worked on my computer or not! The buttons will be easy to put back (I lost my "Latest Headlines" button, but I'm sure I can get that back) and for some reason, my login information was lost on one page (Gamingforce, so I assumed the rest were lost too), but the rest were saved, as were all of my extensions.

So basically, my bookmarks, buttons and one saved password were lost, but everything else was OK. Strange, I would have that either everything or nothing would be lost in a crash, but whatever!

Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it!

How ya doing, buddy?

I am using Firefox 2.0. 2.0.0.3 actually. I always use the latest version when it comes out. Makes me wonder if my install is all screwed up.
