Bookmarks Toolbar

Guest · Post by **Guest** » February 26th, 2005, 12:13 pm

My wife just lost all her bookmarks including a large number relating to her research. I have searched all through her disk and tried a restoration utility - but to no avail. She is through using firefox.

And what happens if those very examples are proving problematic and/or you're not au fait with what you're bing asked to do???

This whole default profile being lost with all your favs/bookmarks is now beyond yawn-inducing. I know all my bookmarks etc. are there, waiting for me in my default profile - BUT ON EARTH DO I GET TO THEM/GET THEM BACK??!

Anyone managed to get a successful resolution yet, as currently, using FF is now a chore and not the pleasure it once was.

Can you simply recrash it? because none of those solutions are working. I know that sounds like a dumb idea... but it makes sense, at leas in my head, of course anything makes sence in my mind on under 3 hours of sleep.

I used the screenshot site, but it is not helping.

Also the bookmark download is also not working.

Did you try the suggestions provided? You need to look at the links too. You need to provide more information like what you have tried.

JoelG1967- your sig helped more than this thread- thanks!

No matter how much I dislike firefox... it is better than IE by a long shot.

Broken Lioness,
It does no good to tell us the solutions don't work. You need to tell us exactly what you did and exactly what you found. Otherwise, no one has any idea. We can't tell the difference between a user error and bookmarks that are genuinely gone. One user said they "did the search thing"--or something to that effect. There is simply no way of knowing if the user did not search properly, or did not find bookmarks files, what method was used, or whether files did not contain the bookmarks, or whatever. Without an explicit report, there is no way to know.

If you want, I can point you to a site that is designed to elicit an explicit report. But first you have to agree to report back.

Do you have the following code in userChrome.css?

Code: Select all

/* Multi-row bookmarks toolbar */
#bookmarks-ptf {display:block}
#bookmarks-ptf toolbarseparator {display:inline}

If so, delete it and restart Firefox.

My bookmarks toolbar disappeared today. I turned it on, but only a blank bar came up. My folder is still there when I go in through the menu. My navigation bar is turned off because I moved those menu items to the main bar (not nav or bookmark). Well, I turned the nav bar back on and it had all my bookmarks on it. So I left it on and turned off the bookmarks toolbar to get rid of the empty toolbar. Weird stuff - not sure how it happened. But the solution proved simple enough. Using Firefox 1.0.4.
