nana ......if you go to your favourites list .....and click on organize favourites ........then on 'file' ......then on 'export' ........and save them to say 'My Documents' .....or 'Desktop' ......then next time poppy loses them you do the reverse of above and instead of 'export'ing them you 'import' them and they will come back to your favourites list .......
my techie told me to do this cos when I first got firefox it ate my favourites/bookmarks about 3 times .....and I was not happy - now I just remember to export them regularly so that Im up to date with all the ones Ive saved .....
when you resave them just replace the current list with the new list and you will always be up to date !
BAD FORM EBAY ..... BAD FORM!
