Firefox bookmarks tend to disappear after a crash, so now I back them up to my harddisk (in my case, it's hda3...change to point to your own harddrive partition)

I typed this out and saved as "backup" in my home directory. To run, type: "bash backup" . Alter the location of the bookmarks.html file for your own setup; this was where it was placed by default on mine.
