Does anyong know how to retrieve bookmarks after firefox gets reinstalled I did hundreds of hours of study straight.
I am hoping you can help me with this please reply. I spent hundreds of hours doing research for Collage. Mostly regarding IT courses, with between 5 and 40 hour research sessions every day, at least 10 weeks straight, but I cannot retrieve my bookmarks, Without going into detail. Windows, i.e. Microsoft, checked my primary hard drive without asking and changed its letter path, causing me to have problems booting the computer making it impossible to repair the operating system, which also effected the bookmarks in the old firefox browser. The collage I attend require in order to attend I use Firefox 3.6.28 or the lowest possible one available. Please help. I tried looking up bookmark help and even accessed the firefox profile folder but nothing has worked. Tanks in advance.

I see this is not a common problem
See:

You may still be able to access the old profile if you use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of the old profile as the location for the newprofile.
I tried doing that. After doing some research into how to access and save bookmarks, as well as old bookmarks, I have found that once having to reinstall the operating system old bookmarks do not appear to be retrievable.
Thank you for the help.
