Hi, I recently had to reinstall windows and I lost access to my Firefox bookmarks. I did not manually export my bookmarks before reinstalling and now i couldn't find them in my current Firefox setup. Is there any way to recover my old bookmarks or restore my previous Firefox profile date? can you please guide me on what can I do to retrieve them if possible? thank you.

Hi.

Your bookmarks, unless backup up are on the C: drive of a Windows system all of which is generally overwritten.

In older days when the drive was a magnetic disk it was possible to search for deleted files as a deleted file only had it's first character changed so if that section/cluster of bits wasn't overwritten it was possible to collect 'deleted' files. It wasn't generally possible once a whole re-write was done.

With static chip memory that is out of the question as far as I know

Either way it seems you have lost them.

In future, you may like to do what I do and that is copy the Profile folder often to a separate SD card etc.

You can of course save other user personal data by copying the whole C:/users folder.

Sad, I know the disappointment of not anticipating this
