The XP OS corrupted and had to reload it. I did a full backup prior and did save everything on the hard disk. Reinstalled Firefox. Now how do I get my bookmarks, themes etc to come back up?

This happened

Not sure how often

== Reloaded the OS

I guess I should provide better details. Knowing that I had to reload the OS (XP), I did a full, restorable, backup of C: on a remote drive. Mozilla Firefox was in "Program Files". I am trying to restore my numerous bookmarks that were stored on the toolbar. How can I do that? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Firefox installs to three locations, the Program Files directory doesn't contain your bookmarks, the bookmarks.html file in the Firefox program files are the default bookmarks that come with Firefox (all 6 or 7 of them) - your bookmarks are in your Profile folder.
