    I just went on line using Mozilla and ALL of my book marks are gone! Even the book mark tool bar across the top! I know I needed to go through them and clean some out but I didn't think Mozilla would do it for me! or rather TO me!

    Any ideas?

    What browser do you usually use? I think the bookmarks are saved specifically to the browser, I have different bookmarks in Firefox and IE. Firefox does have a way for you to copy your bookmarks from another browser, but I don't remember how it's done. Look around, you can figure it out.

    I use Fire Fox. Always for years... never liked IE
    It's all gone. I checked my kids account and all their bookmarks are still there.

    I just noticed I can't use my 'back button' either! like there's nothing to go back to!

    :cry:

    It won't let me drag a favorite to my tool bar either!

    Yesterday three of my shortcut icons disappeared from my wallpaper screen..what ever it's called...

    And little blue squares that look like play buttons appear on my text files that are saved to the wallpaper screen too...

    My computer is haunted.

    And it won't let me save new bookmarks!

    If I uninstall and reinstall will it mess up the kids ff browser on their account?

    Thank you snowdio.. ..I can't make anything work. I'm lost. I think I'ma show Dh the links and let him try it all. I looked at it and tried a few things but I can't make it go.

    Sorry, I was no help. I thought you were just changing to Firefox from another browser. Good thing Snowdio was on! 8)

    I think they all are. Sometimes I have to reboot to exorcise the ghost in the machine.
