Fantastic, made my day thanks. Found

There has been over the last few months spats of this going round not just for Firefox but other browsers also.

Firefox has an addon Foxmarks or there are others whic allow you to save bookmarks https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../type:1/cat:22

Firefox did an update this morning 2.0.0.7

Lignum, was it just firefox that screwed up or did you also lose some other application and desktop look & feel settings? Your windows user profile may have become corrupted, if so.

I use firefox and haven't had my bookmarks disappear... BUT there is something you can do to make sure it doesn't happen again, even if you don't get them back. Install the foxmarks firefox extension from here. Foxmarks synchronises your bookmarks with their servers. I use it to synchronise bookmarks between firefox at work and home, and it will automatically load your bookmarks on new PCs, etc, when you install the foxmarks plugin.
