I Just Accidentally Baleeted All My Bookmarks

[jx]

So, I was cleaning up my Firefox bookmarks, thinking the recent bookmarks were symbolic/relational bookmarks. If you delete a program shortcut (which is just a relational link to the program), it doesn't delete the program. Thinking the same principle applied to the Recently Bookmarked folder, I deleted them all. And all my bookmarks. 

Well, at least it gave me motivation to go through my feeds which Firefox checks every x hours (I'm not sure how often it is set to check. Maybe every 4 hours.) rendering Firefox useless for like 10 seconds.  (No, it's not a long time. But it seems longer when it is at an inopportune time.)

Who were you trying to hide your recent sites from, hmmmm?

haxors because no one cares about me enough irl to be interested

I just deleted the most frequently viewed feeds folder and it had the effect I was initially expecting.    

I love you Firefox. Even more than Opera. So I don't understand why you must toy with me like this. I give you lots of attention. I even recommended you on my website... until Adsense stopped referrals. But that's besides the point. Why, Firefox, why?

Edit: And all the links in my Bookmarks toolbar. arg!@#$%^&

The Foxmarks plugin for Firefox keeps your bookmarks on a server and lets you sync them from several different computers.  Even if you only have one computer, it would still save you from this kind of problem.
