MAC's Mac is left on overnight. Come morning, MAC has lost power due to bad UPS I rebuild bookmarks and Add Ons. . Power up, & Rebooted and Firefox comes back as a new install with no bookmarks and no ADD ONs.

This has happened several times.

Suggestions????

Go to your local department/electronics store and look around for a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that is useful for you. The lowest price is $50 +. There are also units on the market that plug into the computer. So if the battery gets low, it will shut down the computer to protect it.

Note: Sudden power loss can damage or destroy a hard drive's data.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.
