camino froze (several times) leading to me force quiting the application.  when I turn my computer on this morning to use it my bookmarks are all gone.  My search history is still there, but all my bookmarks are gone.

I was downloading from eopen microsoft.  I had to use Firefox because they do not support camino.  I had camino open at the same time.  The download stopped and then the camino (and firefox section closed).  Every time that I restored the sessions in both browsers the same problem happened and now I have no bookmarks in camino.   Is there anyway to get them back or do I have to start over.

Is there anything in your Console log from around the time this happened?

There *should* be a bookmarks.plist.bak file in

~/Library/Application Support/Camino/

that contains your bookmarks as well; you could try removing the ".bak" extension from a *copy* of that file and see if renaming it to "bookmarks.plist" will get you your bookmarks back.
