firefox problems

firefox decied to update without my consent, loosing my bookmarks and resetting my homepage in the process. is there a way to get my bookmarks back?

Ok guys, dont fail me.

Some punk ass in my dorm is going to try and hack my computer over the LAN. I dont know much about protecting against this sort of thing, the only protection i have is mcaffee and norton. Will a personal firewall help at all?

and also, extra credit if you tell me how to fuck up his computer in the process. thanks. and have a nice day.

I love you 4chan

hey, you replied to my thread! if you dont know how to help then gtfo lol

Firefox should have backupped your bookmarks in the Mozilla folder on your C: drive.

thanks for the reply anon, but i tried to find the backup file. i opened a file called bookmarks.html with the bookmark manager but it just brought up the generic ones it comes with. i dont know what to do at this point, theres only one profile on my computer, and if i make a new one they dont come back either

Do you have a folder called "bookmarkbackups"?  Look in there.

no, i have no such folder. the only thing related to that is a bookmarks.html in the defaults folder which im guessing is a profile

Did it TRULY lose the bookmarks and homepage (extremely unlikely, almost an impossibility), or did you just choose to make a new Firefox profile?

I've tried Opera, it sucks about as hard as IE.

I only time I lost bookmarks was when I was using Firefox 1.0.
