WHAT THE **** HAPPENED . . . . Where did everything go !?!?!?!
While using Firefox (with many Tabs open) . .along with using and/or having two separate programs open (nothing to do with Firefox) . . as this happens from time to time (when I have way too many Tabs open) Firefox gets a little slow and sometimes crashes and/or just freezes up for obvious reasons.
Well, while I was using Firefox (with yes, probably too many Tabs open) . . Firefox froze up on me. So I did what I have usually done and opened Task Manager and closed it (or “end task”) I also closed everything else that was open, or that I was using at the time and restarted my computer. When I opened up Firefox the Restore Session page opened showing all the Tabs I had open before and ready to restore them. But every one of my “Add-ons” where gone, along with all my “Bookmarks” and History!?!
The missing Add-ons are not such a big deal. I simply added them back, or the one’s I was using. It’s the fact that aaaalllll the Bookmarks that I had are gone, and the History also !?!?!
How do I get them back, or can I even get them back (the Bookmarks I mean) !?!?!?! Now before you asked me, the answer is Yes I did try using Windows Restore. Twice! But it didn’t restore the Bookmarks.
Is there anything I can do !?!?!?!

I am guessing this is what you mean, by "Crash Reports" (below) ?

While i'm waiting for your reply i'm going to try something. . . when i tried using Windows Restore twice and that didn't work, i Undid the Restore points (both of them) . . to take me back to where i was.
Well, the restore points were only for a few days back. There was also two other Restore Points over one to two weeks back , so i'm going to try that also i guess.
