Restart?

Nah i mean when FF does that weird thing and restarts with a completly new session, no bookmarks or anything just a fresh session

Ive seen it discussed on here before, Bledd knows how to sort it iirc

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random text].[profile name]

Your profile's in there.

it's a good idea to make a zip/rar/7zip backup of that folder on a regular basis

 

[G|mp]

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random text].[profile name]

Your profile's in there.

How do i get it back then dude?

Ive found it all by the way its just means nowt to me :/

if it's just bookmarks you really want, then look for a bookmarks.bak or html file in there that is about 30kb+ (i think around 45ish) and rename it bookmarks.html (when ff is closed)

reopen firefox

I wanted the whole thing back really, i had a theme and a few links at the top under the address bar, the damn things gone back to a fresh FF all plain and carp

One profile will be empty, the other won't be - copy one into the other, or delete the empty one and switch back to the one you want to use with the Profile Manager (or just edit profiles.ini).

Your bookmarks will also be in the bookmarkbackups folder. For the other files, read this. Links "under the address bar" sounds like the bookmarks toolbar, which is part of your bookmarks.
