do a full search for ""bookmarks.html" (no quotes). firefox stores it in that file... could be your profile went bad and it made a new one... look for the one with a big file size... etc..

ahh.. easy peasy man..

To open Import, select File -> Import in Firefox's Bookmark Manager window.

A new window will appear, asking you where you want to import your bookmarks from.

If you want to import bookmarks from a backed up Firefox bookmarks, or bookmarks from any other source, select From File. In this case, a dialog window will appear that allows you to select the file you wish to import, select your A drive, and choose that "bookmarks".html file you saved.

Tada..

here is a nice reading link for you if you like to read..
