Browsers like Firefox and Netscape allow you to have different user profiles so each user can have their own bookmarks, settings, etc. I'm not entirely familiar with the system, so I can't tell you off hand how to fix it, I'll do some looking though...

also, did you change anything on the computer before this, like set up a different account, etc?

Did you have a different profile you were using, other than default?

To choose a different profile, make sure all firefox windows are closed:

Go to the Start Menu - > Run

type: firefox.exe -profilemanager
and press enter.

This will allow you to choose a different profile

This happened to me as well, just after I upgraded to version 1.0.7 but only after about two or three days..... strange... thought it was me!!!

I had alot of bookmarks for business that are simple gone.....

Of course once I used Firefox, I cleaned up all the stuff in IE, so no help there either..
