Bookmarks in Mozilla-family browsers are stored in a single file called "bookmarks.html". Must be in your profile directory, something like /default/xxxxxxxx.slt/bookmarks.html

The latest Symantec products, as with other software products that try to wrest control of your computer from the OS (like AOL), are very likely culprits. Since Firefox has become popular, and the "anti-malware malware" programs now "support" it, you can expect them to mess with Firefox as well. The flip side to that coin is that, while Microsoft goes to great lengths to ensure that it's "Partners" don't bork any Microsoft products, the people who contribute to Firefox don't have anywhere near the massive leverage in the marketplace to ensure that Firefox isn't borked. The maxim "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" does not apply to software installations.

Can't imagine what might have gotten into it. Not like I was cruising dangerous sites or anything - I was searching my bank's web site pages for some number to call to report a couple of broken ATMs on Sunday, seems I hit a bad link, and everything went black after that.

I upgraded in the alst few days and have to say my computer has not quite been the same since. couple of crashes, just freezing without anything happening for ages, things taking longer to open. I just wish they wouldn't release this crap until they know it works.

Anyone have any suggestions?
