    dunno bout theme, but firefox keeps a backup of bookmarks.

    right click bookmarks, go to manage folders, import and try and find the back up.

    Firefox, like Mozilla, supports multiple profiles. Does this help at all?

    it should be located in a similar folder...

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXX.default

    the file is called bookmarks.html I think.

    Thanks for bringing this up, I would still like my 'marks back. Unfortunately my html file was in a somewhat different place, more like C>program files>Mozilla Firefox>defaults>profile>bookmarks.html. That's fine but the problem is when I open that file all I get is some general Mozilla stuff, none of my personal things. Did I go to the wrong place?, this was the only place I could find the file, or does this mean that I'm going to have to cope without them? Thanks.
