pujols Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Why does Firefox keep deleting my bookmarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDom Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Are you using Firefox 2.0? Also are you talking about the bookmarks, or the bookmark toolbar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujols Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 2.0 Both, actually. And sometimes, the browser will shake a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 how often does this happen? It could be the result of some other action your taking, and not neccassarily firefox itself. For example, maybe something you use for virus protection or spyware removal is scanning your bookmarks and clearing them? Just a suggestion. I've had similar issues.... but it could just need to be removed and re-installed. Don't switch back to Internet explorer. You'd surely regret that.

I doubt AVG is the problem, and I don't spyware scan often. And I tried reinstalling and that didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 does it happen after firefox attempts to update itself? Or one of your extensions attempts to update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryrat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 fire fox is so open with its additions and extensions, the problem could be coming from numerous places. i should start responding like a Dell or Verizon associate. I'll claim my name is Steve, even though you can obviously tell I am 100% Indian. And I will use phrases like..... "have you attempted to shut off your PC and turn it back on? Is it plugged into the wall?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryrat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I have been searching through the HELP on firefox, and also just browsing through the Menu < Tools < Options.... and I am yet to find anything that would have an option to clear your bookmarks... but it does give you the option to have a bunch of other things cleared each time you close FF. Maybe your bookmarks are linked to another item some how. Maybe I now suggest, unchecking all of those options that would be cleared, and see if that helps.

angryrat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm sorry I've been of no use. But I need to go to bed now. I have school in 6 hours. Hopefully someone figures it out... or you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronmexico Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You and I share a problem in common, well kinda, I have 'TAG this' and 'Del.icio.us' in my toolbar and bookmark folder, and it keeps deleting it, along with another extension I saved in there. It keeps deleting it on restart. I think this is an issue with FF 2.0. I am gonna try to find in the about:config file if there is something that can be reset that might be the problem. Didn't wanna start a new thread for my problem, was wondering if anyone can help. http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1605/firefoxerrordl3.jpg This occurs when I attempt to open a link to something by clicking on the link, outside of firefox. I believe it's only been happening to me in FF 2.0. In short, what I do is click on a link, such as www.google.com, that someone sends me in aim or a word document or something, and I get that prompt and message, and it can't open it.
