I don't think programs have something to do with your sexuality but ok!!

Is there anyway to prevent that from happening? I once lost around a year's worth of bookmarks with many of those being bookmarks I'll never get back.

Step-by-step bookmark recovery

If you don't see your bookmarks when you open Firefox, Mozilla Suite or SeaMonkey, and you've tried closing and reopening the browser or restarting the computer, the bookmarks file may have been damaged or the contents deleted.

Firefox automatically makes a bookmark backup every day you use it (up to 5 backups total), with newer backups replacing the older copies. If you use the profile, you must act quickly, before they are all overwritten. However, there are other reasons why your bookmarks may be missing, so it is important that you follow all of these steps:

  1. Mozilla browsers store user data in a separate place for each user account on your computer. Make sure you are logged on to your computer with your usual logon name.
  2. Mozilla browsers allow you to store different sets of bookmarks and other user data in separate profiles. You may have created a new profile in the past for troubleshooting or other reasons. Make sure you are using the correct profile (see Multiple profiles and profile in use, below).
  3. If bookmarks appear in the Bookmarks Manager but not in the main menu, and they can't be edited, try the fix for a corrupt localstore.rdf file, given below.
  4. If your problem is still not solved after doing the above, see Finding your bookmarks and Restoring bookmarks from backup (below).
  5. Other methods of recovery

[edit]
Preventing future problems

   * You can minimize the likelihood of future problems by following these suggestions (below).
   * If your Web browser is not properly shut down, your bookmarks may be lost after restarting..
   * Do not switch back and forth between Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 using the same profile as this will cause what appears to be bookmark data loss, since the bookmarks.html file used in Firefox 2 will not be automatically imported into Firefox 3 a second time. [1].

Note that actual bookmark loss or corruption should occur much less frequently in Firefox 3, which uses a more robust system for bookmarks storage.

Thanks for the information. I wish I knew that when I originally lost a ton of bookmarks. >_>
