Try downloading the new Sctibefire Addon (version 1.9) http://www.scribefire.com/category/firefox/ The pads should still be there, stored somewhere on hard disk. When you install the updated version, it should discover any data files that are on your hard disk and resume from there. If you're still having trouble http://leggetter.posterous.com/how-to-recover-a-lost-scribefire-noteblog-pos Scribefire appears to store it's data inside and SQLite database. The location of this database is in the following location: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ You are looking for a file called "scribefire.sqlite". Assuming this file is still there, you should be able to open it in the SQLite application (a free database application). Available from here: http://www.sqlite.org/ But first - just try reinstalling Scribefire as it should be able to locate the file itself without you needing to go into the database files. Hope it helps.
