Any way to get my bookmarks back?

[cgm707]

Aaaargh, my bookmarks Safari, Chrome and Firefox are gone (don't ask).

Is there ANY way to retrieve these?

Thanks for any help!

Did you have Xmarks for Firefox and Safari ?

If they are not simply in the trash, and if you did not have some type of backup working for you, you are probably out of luck.

Why not ask?
It may be helpful to know why the bookmarks are gone (so you don't do that next time )

You can easily get your bookmarks file from your most recent backup.
Do you use Time Machine, or another app such as SuperDuper! to backup your hard drive?

Then your bookmarks were never gone. That is your bookmarks file.
