Firefox Lobotomy

[Dorkenstein]

I just restarted my computer to finish an installation and all my extensions, bookmarks, preferences, and saved passwords are GONE! I don't mind putting them all back in but, where did they go and how can I prevent this from happening again?

They're stored under your Profile in MyDocuments... Bookmarks is bookmarks.html, passwords are in cookies.txt, etc etc.

I just restarted the program and they were all back. Weird, what causes this?

 

[Looney]

Were you logged into your account? or maybe it was just a bug that the second reboot cleared.

As I always tell my users, "If in doubt, reboot!"
