jscher2000 5 months ago When doing an upgrade installation, Firefox usually migrates settings automatically for you. However, 3.5 is quite an old version, so I don't know whether it will work on the first try, or whether you might have to upgrade in two steps: first to 3.6, and then to 17.
First, I suggest backing up your entire settings folder so you could restart the process if necessary. This article describes how to get to the folder; you could just make a copy outside the Mozilla path: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.
Second, you could export your bookmarks to an HTML file as an extra option. This file, too, should be saved in a safe place. Can you find the export feature in the Organize Bookmarks dialog? (Things may have moved around...)
Do those steps work?

mehrmark 5 months ago Oh my god. Guys I’ve just discovered something interesting and I think it will help the Firefox users. I installed the Firefox newest version and when I opened it all my bookmarks were in the new version and I didn’t do anything. Your solution is correct but when you wants to I don’t know reinstalling the Windows or installing Firefox in your system for the first time but this is important to know: When you already have installed any version of Firefox and you want to upgrade or install a new version all your bookmarks will be import to the newest version and you don’t need to do anything. And that’s why I looooooooooooooooove Firefox to do everything for the users. Mozilla team I want to kiss you all Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
