I just lost all my settings and bookmarks. I had to re-login to DU too.
Something happened, a crash or something and all of my settings and bookmarks I had in Firefox are gone and I cant restore them.
SHIT!!!

1. What version of Windows?
If it's XP, do a system restore to yesterday and it should come back.

3. I just did a Compaq Restore and it all came back.
Whew! I hate to panic but I hate it when this happens.
I didnt know that you can restore through XP.
Thank you all for the help.
