Reminder: Back up!
By Sasha on Jan 10, 2009 in Computers and gadgets
I did something stupid a few minutes ago. I’ve been using Firefox 2 for some time now. I am satisfied with it and had no plans of upgrading to Firefox 3. But then this message from Mozilla kept popping up from time to time asking me if I want to upgrade to 3 already. I thought, why not? Better get the latest version now.
So I did. But I forgot to back up my bookmarks! 
After upgrading, I saw that my bookmarks list reverted back to the old one. I lost the newest I organized a few days ago. Sigh.
Let me remind you if you are going to do any upgrades or whatnots with your pc… Back up!
Happy weekend everyone!

Hello, Sis! Weekend na pala di ko namalayan.
Enjoy and I am sure you would be able to bring back those bookmarks again in no time.

OK, I go do my back up. I have too much info and documents to lose.

Yes, yes, backup is very important, including small thing that we often forget like bookmarks.

You should definitely look into Foxmarks.com. It’s an on-line bookmark saver. And if you are ever not at your computer and want to access your bookmarks, you can. Check it out. Really a handy thing to use.

i did not encounter such problem when I upgraded to Firefox 3 last week. I remembered someone posted about it in the past. I was expecting trouble. But i don’t know. mine was just a swift and seamless update.

Awk!!! That’s the worst thing that could happen…losing bookmarks and files. You’ll straighten them up in a jiffy, you being a computer wiz.
Happy New Year, Sash.
