So.....

I had a random BSOD the other day whilst browsing the web on Firefox. Only recently over Xmas dialled in some OC settings on my 6700k (was 8 hour Realbench stable!) and this is the first crash/BSOD/instability etc i've had since, so was strange, but anywho didn't think much of it, just booted into bios and tweaked the voltage up a little more to be extra sure.

Upon getting back into windows and firing up firefox, and navigating to 'restore previous session' to my horror it was blanked out, i then noticed i didn't have any browsing history at all, i then noticed that all my toolbars and add-ons were also gone, and then finally, i noticed all my bookmarks (i had well over 200!) are now all gone too!

So Firefox has completely reset itself back to standard. I can't figure out why or how it's done this just because of a BSOD.

Anywho i have been googling like mad the last couple days as surely there are redundancies in place so data can be recovered. However i think the all important 'Old Firefox Data' folder i cannot find anywhere!

Where do i stand with this, and where should i begin? Anybody had any similar in the past and if so any tips? :(
 
I do have a backup, but silly me its couple motnhs old now and quite a lot has changed. System restore from a couple days prior keeps telling me it cant complete aswell :angry:
