https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76604

I am running Jaunty in amd64.

This morning I turned on my computer and used the firefox 3.0.11 web browser.  Everything was normal.  I closed the browser and left the computer for about one hour.  When I returned to the computer and opened the browser, up popped a box asking me if I wanted to import bookmarks, settings, etc., from Mozilla Netscape, etc.  I clicked cancel and up popped the firefox browser window to the default firefox home page.  All my settings and bookmarks were gone.  It was like a brand you installation of firefox had occured.  What happened?  There was noone else here and I did nothing to set off this kind of behaviour.  Has anyone else experienced such behaviour?  What could have happened?
