Firefox disappeared completely from computer -- Any way to retrieve bookmarks?
Last night I shut down my laptop (Lenovo E530). This morning I turned it on to find that the Firefox icon was missing from the taskbar. Then I opened the Start menu, searched for Firefox and Mozilla, and both searches gave me nothing. I searched in the Program Files and Program Files x86 folders and found nothing. It wasn't even listed as an option in "Uninstall Programs." The entire program had completely disappeared from my laptop.
I desperately need my bookmarks back. Any suggestions?

all the settings you make in Firefox, like your home page, what toolbars you use, saved passwords and bookmarks are all stored in a special profile folder? It's true. Your profile folder is kept in a separate place from the Firefox program so that if something ever goes wrong with Firefox your information will still be there. For dis u have to go At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open for the Windows Vista and 7 users at 1st Click the Windows Start button and type %APPDATA% \Mozilla\Firefox \Profiles\ in the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu, without pressing Enter. A list of profiles will appear at the top of the Start menu. Then Click on the profile with “default” in the name to open it in a window.and for the Windows XP users at 1st Click the Windows Start button, and select Run.... Type in %APPDATA% \Mozilla\Firefox \Profiles\ then click OK. A window will open containing profile folders.then Double- click the folder with “default” in the name to open it.
