Hi, On the helpwebsite it said that firefox would maintain my bookmarks while reinitializing, but it didn't, so now I lost all of them. There is a folder on my desktop but I can't open the extensions, and resetting copies on firefox itself doesn't seem to work either. Please just give me back my bookmarks, and please improve on the information you provide!!!!

Did you look in the bookmarkbackups folder in the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop?

Hi, Thanks, I did look on my desktop, but couldn't open the documents. Nothing seemed to work, but after all I found that I only needed to close up and open firefox again and everything was reset.

The only thing for now is, that it appears to work even slower than before!
