Nope. Internet Explorer would be a big 'maybe' but definitely not firefox since it's built to be portable.
Oh no

Might be malware causing that. Sounds like your home page got hijacked too? I'm not sure. Try running some scans with some free applications. Try here: http://remove-malware.com/removal/

You should be able to recover them I think. There should be a back up stored in one of the profile folders if you navigate to wherever Firefox is installed to. Steps for doing so. There's a bug that swaps user profiles seemingly randomly if I recall, which would give the appearance of having lost all of your bookmarks, so that might have happened. I hope it works out and you manage to get them back.

Err, I'm glad it worked. Can you link me to where you found the fix that solved the specific problem you were having with the backup file, for curiosity's sake? =)

oh actually it wasn't from your link exactly. I tried your link and got an error message (don't remember what)
put those exact words into google and found a fix
thanks so much though i was soooo worried i have a lot of research for term papers and all sorts of stuff in there.
also i was worried people would get pissed for me asking for tech support lol but i remember last time this happened i couldnt find a fix.
