I was on my computer tonight, and the power in the house went out for a second. My computer restarted, and it came up to a blue window that said it was checking drive C: for errors. It started listing file names for firefox. Then it said below each one that it truncated them because they were too long or something. Windows loaded, and I go to get on firefox, and none of my bookmarks are listed anymore! I tried looking for them in the folder for firefox, but have been UNABLE to locate a folder for them. Apparently you can't access them like you can with IE. What can I do? I suppose I could reinstall firefox and it might restore the origional file names. Anyone have any suggestions?Uninstall Firefox, if you can and then reinstall. What happens now?Your power Cut must of croupted the Bookmarks folder, you may need to use a recover program to get your Bookmarks back,

if scan disk said it truncated the names , they may be on your computer in a folde whit only half a name, run a search on the computer for a file whit the name of one of your Bookmarks, and you might find the folder intact but in the wrong place

On C:\ is there a bunch or folders with names like 0001 0002 0003 etc..

if there are there FILES ChkDsk saved, and your short cuts could be in them

Hope this helpsI don’t know if you know but asking if I speak English, wont help the solve problem. And i'm 22 and yes English is my First language. My spelling ability is quite low, but most who have talk to me in person believe I have good literary skills. however this does not always convey well in to written English as my POOR spelling ability sometimes Cripples my ability to put the words I wont to use into text, if you had any idea how hard it is to be well spoken and given a pen and not known what its like to put it to paper and find you just couldn’t use you full capacity due to a mental defect, you could come close to understanding how hard it is. And this mental barrier doesn’t stop me trying to help people as best I can. There is no point in knowing anything if you are unable to use that knowledge to try to help those who don’t. And you are giving e the impression that you know that i’m Giving some bad info and yet the lack of either the knowledge or the Will to CORRECT it. And that saddens me, I give you great pityGmcfan,
Just re-install it.
You may be able to configure ScanDisk to stop checking for long file names.

Just click Start>Programs>System Tools>Scandisk
Find the options button,
and unselect "check for long file names" (I believe that's what the option is)
