Weird Firefox thing

So my computer froze this afternoon, and I did a hard reboot by holding the power button until the computer turned off, then I turned it back on.

Now, a lot of my firefox settings are gone. I've been logged out of every site I stay logged in to, I lost all my bookmarks and can't make new ones, and the drop down address bar isn't showing my recently visited websites.

Anyone know what's going on?

I have no idea, but it happened to me as well several months ago ... I lost all settings for Firefox (bookmarks, passwords, extensions) AND all settings for Thunderbird (email accounts, saved emails and all other stuff).

Your profile is corrupted

You won't be able to keep any settings without creating a new profile, they will just reset every time you quit firefox.

go start > run and type "Firefox.exe -profilemanager"
Then create a new profile and delete the old one.
