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,
