So I've been having some problems with my computer, since my battery is dead and I'm too poor to buy a new one. Namely, every time I unplug my computer it dies for lack of power. ;)

Anyway, so tonight it accidentally got unplugged so it shut down. I took it to the library, no problem, plugged it in, opened up Firefox and ALL of my favorites and links are gone. :( I'm talking years of them, all disappeared. If they're gone forever I will be really mad/upset. It's been accidentally unplugged before (turned off without shutting down properly first) but nothing like this has ever happened.

I looked for the file but I'm not sure where it'll be. My settings other than that were in place, all the extensions and stuff, (even my browsing history from before it shut down!) but my favorites are gone. Is there any way I can get the back? Would a system restore get them back??

Any thoughts from anyone??

Thanks Jason. I had found the bookmarks again right after I finished posting, but then my computer got unplugged again:rolleyes: (someone plugged theirs into the extension cord also, and it is particularly finicky and likes to not work) so I couldn't say never mind..

But...thanks:)
