Ok, so how do you get a Tab bar to remain under your address bar? I used to a tool bar with an icon that allowed me to open a new tab sitting right under the address bar. I no longer have that.

God this is a pain in the ***!

In Mozilla, its:
Navigator -> Tabbed Browsing -> [X] Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open.

CTRL-T should open a new tab, and there are options for middle-click and CTRL-enter to open their targets in a new tab too.
I never click the new tab icon, because these other options are so much quicker. Either middle clicking links, or CTRL-T followed immediately by typing a URL.

BTW, I have never lost bookmarks in Moz, even in the rare instances of crashing.

It's a common thing with Firefox for some users.

However, if you've been using the most updated version of firefox (1.5+) then Firefox saves bookmarks each day in a folder that can be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\'User Name'\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.3qu

Thanks guys, but there were no back ups. I think when it crashed it somehow deleted my defualt profile and well with it everything I had.

Hell I even lost NetScape too.

I don't know what happened. I was reading the forum went to dinner, came back and tried to open a bookmark to the Beta forum and crash. When I went to restart FF it would not. So I rebooted the PC. When I started FF I had nothing left. No default profile, no Atrocities profile, nothing.

So I started up Netscape and discovered that it was not working as well. IE worked, but we know where that leads.

I have managed to find about 20% of my old links. I lost all of my Tribes, BOTF, Rebellion, Legal, Bike, Cat, and even a Few SEIV links.

I guess it was bound to happen. Things were just going too good.

Thanks SJ, I appreciate the tip, it worked.

Kwok, thanks for the info, I was able to find a listing of my old Extensions and grab them. The FTP one won't work though.

Any good suggestions for download extentions, and or FTP extentions?

What about plug ins?

Did you check the application directory like I suggested? I'd find it unlikely that it was fried...

Atrocities · #8 March 6th, 2006, 02:27 AM

Yes, the only thing in it was the extension info.

Believe me I went through it with a fine tooth comb.

I have a few folks that I know that will send me the links I lost over time. I found the BOTF page with an easy search so I am a bit more optomistic about this now. Besides it gives me a chance to re-organize my bookmark folder and from this point forward I will do regular back ups of it.

Thanks again.

Say do you have a link to the Wiki site and Encylopidia site?

Yeah I had the same thing happen too. It seams that if your using a weeb browser other than something Micrsoft put out it is destined to craxh at some point on a Windows machine...
