Hi, i had trouble loading one website, so following the 'help' pages, I created a new profile to try and open the site there. (didn't work), so I deleted the new profile, and ONLY had that profile highlighted in profile manager, and now all my bookmarks etc on my other profile are deleted. can i 'go back in time' and restore the apparently deleted files? help please! and I still can't load the website!

I think I've tried that to no avail. BTW, I didn't back up my bookmarks before the 'delete'.... Thanks

You will have to use an undelete utility if you have to restore files if you have removed the profile folder. You can try Recuva

Best would be to try to restore a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
Those JSON backups have a date in the name: bookmarks-2011-09-26.json
