I have a problem, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with it.

It's about the favorites. Sometimes I'll run out of power for a second, or my computer will crash, reboot... Then I'll restart, and my firefow will be wiped. It's going to be back to the default gray UI and I will have lost all my favorites.

When it happened to me, I lost about half my favorite. All the favorite that were not in a folder were gone and half the folders were gone too. Then it happened to my brother too on his computer, and he lost all his favorites.

This is really annoying. Yes, I know I can make backups and I do now, but I shouldn't have to backup every coule of wee just to feel safe.

Why is it doing this? Is there a way to get them back when it happen? I thought maybe the program just lost a registry key and they might still be in a file somewhere, but I couldn't find them.
