urgent help please with lost bookmarks on firefox 2.0.0.3

Hi everyone, i just had a problem about 2 days ago where i got the BSOD, ive had it a couple of times a week but nothing happened.
I know its bad but i didnt take care of it. Anyways, i had about 350 MB of memory left, my total space is about 16 GB.
So when i started back up i turned on my internet and my homepage was firefox and ALL my links were gone.
Its very important i get this fixed because i sell car parts from my house as my business and lots of important information/links were gone without a trace.
ive tried reading on the internet about this issue but havent found an answer.
Im not too good with computers but understand the basics and can follow directions good
Please give me all the help you guys can give, i know it was dumb not to make a backup of my favorites like someone told me to a week earlier when i upgraded to the newest firefox.
Thanks for your time.

 

The folks at Mozillazine have put together a very complete rundown of all the possible solutions: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks. Note that Firefox keeps 5 days of backup files in the folder "bookmarkbackups" inside the profile folder, there's a good chance you can recover them from there.

Though it's too late now, the best solution is prevention - you should always back up your Firefox profile, or at least your bookmarks (in a separate location). I use the extension Bookmark Backup myself, it keeps 7 days of automatic backups of bookmarks and, optionally, other profile data, and you can put them anywhere on your network.

 

ive looked through every folder and done a SEARCH on my computer and cant find it. could it have been deleted? im not sure exactly where to look

 

Start > Run > type in: %appdata%
In window that opens Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles>######.default>bookmarkbackups
Copy one of the bookmarks(anydate).html files to the ####.default folder and rename it bookmarks.html [you can rename the current bookmarks.html to bookmarks.old rahter than overwriting if you want]

That should do it.

You may have to unhide extensions for known filetypes to see the .html extensions.
In Windows explorer Tools>Folder Options>View remove the checkmark for "Hide extensions for known filetypes.
