    ah, just after a crash I loaded up Firefox, and found that I had no bookmarks! :eek: but just after a bit of searching on google, I found out that firefox creates daily backups of the bookmarks :)

    backup are stored here, though I'm sure there are other ways to create backups much easier, to your desired location!

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.y5p\Backups

    I remember when I lost my bookmarks with IE, had to rebuild slowly!

    another reason to to use Firefox

    What a wise, wise man. Firefox is an awesome browser. :D By the way, if you use a POP mail client such as Outlook or Outlook Express, you should seriously consider Firefox's companion software, Thunderbird. Note the tag line, "Reclaim your inbox". :) It's true, Firefox has some really smart SPAM Filtering abilites! I have 8 seperate pop accounts for various purposes, and Thunderbird handles them all without letting any unwanted mail through... sweet. :good:

    I tried Thunderbird, but I couldnt get it to import my outlook emails, so left it! I tried this around a month ago I think.

    Hmm, does this [mozillazine.org] help at all? I don't know what kind of problems you were having... :(

    I've never used a bookmarking feature. Is it that helpful?

    yeh sure it is!!! any sites/web pages you like, you can bookmark them, so you dont have to remember the whole URL!

    I guess you will only find it useful if you have loads of sites you keep track of.
