Ok

Open My computer and on the menu select tools -> folder options and click the view tab.
Now show all files and folders.

Now go to C://documents and settings/profile name/application data/Mozilla/ and look till you see file fox profile and look for a file called bookmarks.html and see if FF reset the profile. If so, they are lost sorry.

The reason you have to unhide all files and folders is because Application Data is hidden by default.

Creative did that but firefox only had a save for my bookmarks in the toolbar, not for them in the bookmarks spot.

O yeah i forgot to mention i had all my other bookmarks in folders, so i dono if that changes anything.

Hmm sorry then no idea.
I got this some time ago also.. was a pain in the butt also. But that was ages ago in the early versions off FF.
Loosing bookmarks sucks. I have a habit now of saving them somewhere out of FF.

Just for future reference, if you use Foxmarks it keeps the all your bookmarks saved on your own account, so you can also pick them up from another pc if required.

I have done this to ensure I don't lose mine again!
