Stupid Computer.

I was just surfing the internet and closed the firefox window to play a game, when I went back to the internet on opening firefox it came up with a window asking me what user I wanted to use in firefox, I tried just clicking open on the default user but it said some user was already using that name or some bullshit, so I made another one, but now all my bookmarks and saved bits and bobs are gone. Any ideas out there?

Sounds like Firefox didn't close down properly. Have you tried rebooting?

Yeah I restarted but only after making the new default2 user, anybody know how to get back to the other user?

Your Profile(s) should be located here:
\Documents and Settings\whateveryouraccountnameis\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

It should also have your bookmarks (bookmarks.html) and some backups of it.

Cheers Stick, just deleted the other profile and all of a Sudden Firefox wanted to come crawling back to the other profile.
