this morning i attempted to upgrade my firefox browser .. 
upon completion of the up grade and the opening of the new upgraded version all
my tool bar shortcuts were gone ... all my book marks vanished except for a
couple in  the quick search area ... those that i had previously deleated on my
own ... 
in other words six months of building book marks went down the drain ... 
not nice... 
also all the auto complete feature whiped out so mail addy and web addys are to
be filled in completly 
again six months of building a catalouge gone .. and i often make spelling
errors so this was an important thing to me ... sigh ... 

Reproducible: Didn't try

please try and run firefox so its profile manager appears, and see if you can
choose your old profile.
