Am I missing something that makes them stay linked to firefox after it is closed each day?

Yes - find it at http://www.firefox.com/sync I've been using it for a few months without issues (only the bookmarks - i turned off the password sync and everything else), although as with most online applications, if you're on a laptop and online, offline, online, offline all the time it needs a kick to connect sometimes.

Re: bookmarks in firefox
Hi David, I can't tell you what caused the issue but I do know that Firefox makes a daily back up of it's bookmarks to it's profile folder. To restore them you should be able to go to Bookmarks - Organize Bookmarks... - Import and Backup - Restore and then choose the date of the backup you want to restore from. Having said that, I have an add-on installed called Xmarks http://www.xmarks.com/ that allows me to synch my Firefox settings (bookmarks etc) between multiple machines. This allows me to have my settings identical on my laptop and home PC, as well as providing me with an 'off site' backup function should I ever suffer the issue you just have. The add-on has been around for ever and has worked flawlessly for me for years, and best of all - it's free! Hope this info helps.

bookmarks in firefox
Hello all I am using 10.04.on Acer 55386 laptop. I am not sure weather this was related to an normal update or just a random event. I turned on my computer yesterday morning and all my book mark have disappeared. Is it possible they could be still somewhere on the computer or is it likely they have vanished in to the ether.
