Firefox bookmarks lost

Name: Anonymous 2006-04-17 16:51

Dear 4chan,

2 hours ago I tried to burn a CD. Somehow, Nero fucked up. First, it got stuck at 99%. Then, the CD LED went red (which I had never seen before) and in a matter of minutes, I could not start a single window, and the existing ones were gradually not responding. I ended up hard rebooting.
After that I start Firefox and see that my search engines and bookmarks have disappeared and that the program always starts in an odd place of the screen and wrong sized. I had to delete my profiles directory, restore an old copy of my bookmarks and search engines, and reinstall extensions.
Now goes the question : I was able to recover today's bookmarks file (with a few more bookmarks in it than last backup) but the last lines are filled with what looks like binary data (starts with normal html, ends with ridiculous characters) so FF only understands 500 Ko worth of bookmarks instead of 700 (and 620 for the backup). Anybody knows what it is and how I could recover that ?

Also, anyone experienced this, wether they solved the problem or not ? (Just to know how I managed to crash my comp like that)

Love,
Anonymous

As usual, both sides feed they trolls with ignorance.

What about those of us who have used both extensively?

My dislike of FF is a sense of disillusionment combined with a crap piece of software. FF was supposed to be a lean and mean replacement of Mozilla, but what we got was some fucking slow POS overengineered "application platform" that includes the kitchen sink underneath.

I wanted to like FF. I really did. Free and GPL? Yay! I wanted to like Mozilla too (I ran almost every milestone). But FF quite simply stinks. The only thing that saves it from being complete and total garbage are the extensions, and they're a mixed blessing.
