Deleted ~/.mozilla by accident


I deleted ~/.mozilla by accident. Is there any way to recover this or find a backup somewhere that was automatically saved? Or at least can I retrieve my bookmarks?

There is no automatic backup for ./mozilla. I back ./mozilla up as part of my normal backup routine.

Not if you haven't explicitly backed them up, no...

Was/is mozilla still running? If so you can use bookmark
manager to export them.


Cheers,
