How can I get my bookmarks back after uninstalling Firefox?
When uninstalling Firefox, it asked me if I wanted to delete my bookmarks, etc. I clicked in the check box to delete them, but after a couple days, I realized I should have saved them. Someone told me there is probably a temp folder that is hidden somewhere for just this reason. Can anyone help me get my bookmarks back please? Oh yea, my OS is Vista and I have reinstalled Firefox 3.6.8

Sorry, that "delete" option deletes all your Firefox personal data, no "temp" folder for that data.
You can try with an undelete program like Recuva if you can restore a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
