Last night my laptop suddenly cut off, as if I'd unplugged the ac adaptor (I think there's a short in the cord-laptop connection somewhere). Anyway, I immediately turned the computer back on, and without opening anything, shut the computer down. I never shut it down, just did it on a whim after that short out last night.
Well, today I open up Firefox, and all my bookmarks, homepage, and other settings are just gone... it's like it's in safe mode or something, though it doesn't say it is. My custom toolbar searches and the FFXI helper tool are shown, whereas I always keep that hidden (haven't been using it anyway). Now, if I hide that tool bar and then close the program, when I reopen it, the toolbar is shown again, so the program isn't saving that setting now, at least.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I tried looking around for my bookmarks folder in Program Files/Mozilla Firefox, but no luck. My OS is XP. My cookies seem to be fine, btw.
