    Do a search for "bookmarks.html" in your firefox folder in program files just to be sure .

    You need to empty your application data fikder, thats usually where the foul up is. Just the mozilla folder not the whole thing

    It's a hidden folder in douments and settings > username > application data > mozilla. There will also be a folder in there called bookmark backups

    If you want your search engines back go up one from the bookmarks backup and delete localstore.rdf. The update corrupts this file and deleting in seems to fix the problem

    This was a very poor update :|, and took me a while to find out how to fix it.

    Not sure all versions seem to leak a lot; some people say it is due to the way Firefox caches pages but IE never has the problem and can hold more pages in its back/forward memory

    But I hate the spyware and c*** IE can throw up
