Chris in VA Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm so mad--every single bookmark I had in Firefox is GONE. I had put all my carefully researched history/lit websites for high school on there. I had an excellent medieval lit booklist for 6th grade. I had castle stuff, ancient history stuff, recipes--OH I am so mad! We got a new computer and much did not transfer. Even my resume is GONE. <bangs head and gnashes teeth> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 :grouphug: I have had that happen. I just synchronized my browser (Opera) so that I can upload my bookmarks and download them again as needed (and to any computer I'm using).

nmoira Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Do you not still have the old computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm sorry, that is totally frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortana Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 That stinks and I feel your pain. We put in a new hard drive and everything saved and backed up except my bookmarks. Now the fun of trying to remember everything I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2absh Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 That happened to me once, too! I was freaking out and dh said, "Oh, I guess I forgot to back those up." :001_huh: Now whenever we get a new PC or hard drive he always asks me what I want backed up so he can load it to the new one, and I always remind him - favorites and e-mail!

Kim in Appalachia Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 our old computer crashed. We lost all of our bookmarks, and anything we hadn't backed up. We had backed up certain files, but nothing from outlook (so no addresses, emails or phone numbers!) , or explorer, or unfortunately my files from Edu-Track. I lost all of my homeschool records for the last 3 years. :glare: We now back up more carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn&charles Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 To prevent this from happening again, you may want to look at X-marks. It will back up your bookmarks and is a free plugin for both Firefox and Chrome. Sorry you had that happen! It's so frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug's Mom Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Go to "bookmarks" then "organize bookmarks". Click "import and backup", then go to "restore". If you're lucky, there will be a list of dates there where they were automatically saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 To prevent this from happening again, you may want to look at X-marks. It will back up your bookmarks and is a free plugin for both Firefox and Chrome.Sorry you had that happen! It's so frustrating! I just downloaded and installed this in both Firefox and Chrome and it put all my bookmarks from each into both. Of course now I realize that is what is meant by "sync". I thought it just meant sync my computer with their website (It did that too). I'll go back tomorrow when I'm more awake and get my many bookmarks sorted out. Neat tool--thanks for posting about it!
