Ya, that's happened to me a few times.

What version of firefox are you using? 1.5 and up, now have an auto backup for your favorites.

If your using the older version, you might be able to find them under 'documentandsettings>your profile>applicationdata>mozilla>firefox>profiles>'yourprofile' look for a file named bookmarks.

Also there is an extension for the older version, that backs them up too. If you dont' want to upgrade. Get that :)

oh that's right, I think it's a hidden folder.

I can't remember where, but you have to set XP to allow you to see it.

When you are exploring folders:

tools/folder options/view under the advanced settings

Ya.

I just imported the "bookmarks.html" file.

I opened up the html and it looked just like links of my favs in plain text...cool!
