Ctrl-Alt-Delete, David.

Its a long shot,and I wont go any further after this (promise) I have just realised (and it may have no bearing) when I downloaded I tink AVG it installed a toolbar ie "Crawler,could this be the problem ?

No more question after this .

I loaded AVG with the " toolbar ", it didn't effect my Firefox David, I did a re-install of AVG and dumped the toolbar, still no adverse effect.

Fire away with the questions, we all want to help.

Wouldn't have thought it could be that, but try uninstalling the toolbar if you can from add/remove programs in the control panel and see what happens.

Not sure you can do that Mad, but it is easy to re-install AVG and decline the toolbar.

Ah ok - I declined the toolbar when I installed AVG in the first place - bit of a habit I have - only get the software you actually asked for, not what it wants to chuck at you

I did the same David, so an easy thing to do, I wasn't even aware that it wanted to dump an additional Toolbar on my system.

Good luck.

It is a very easy thing to do David, and even as careful as I am about what boxes are ticked etc, I've been caught out a few times with things like this.

Edit: Forgot to mention earlier, but when you do get your bookmarks back, you may want to use a FF add on called foxmarks - brilliant add on for bookmarks, which are all stored on an external server, so that you can just sync with that server on any machine you work on. Great for me, as I swap between my lappy, desktop, and works machine all the time. Just means I can add a bookmark on any one of them, and next time I use one of the others I just sync, and there they all are.
