Today, for some reason, Firefox decided to play some nasty tricks on me and my precious bookmarks.

The dreaded “empty bookmarks toolbar” was there when I fired up my FF, in addition to the dreaded “empty bookmarks list”. After the initial panic (OMGBOOKMARKSGONEZOMFDDIEOWSDD*thump*) I decided to check the Application Data Firefox (that probably looks like C:\\Documents & Settings\\Application Data\\Mozilla\\Firefox) folder to see if anything interesting is there.

I found that I had an empty bookmarks.html file (thus the empty bookmark list), but when I checked the bookmarks.bak file I saw that everything was in there. So it was just a matter of renaming the bookmarks.bak to bookmarks.html and replace the original empty file.

Now everything seems to be in order, at least in the order I remember it. My sole problem: Sage. It’s empty, and I must do tricks to fill it up again.

*sigh* Should I give Flock a try?

Firefox, bookmarks, Flock

P.S. Please don’t tell me to save all my bookmarks to one of the numerous social bookmarking service that are out and about. I’m not that kind of gal: I save only the important ones there, articles and things I want to come back to and read when I have the time.

P.S.2 If you’re Greek or somehow you know how to read greek and you’re into the same grave situation as me, check this article from the guys at Wiggler. It may help.
