I upgraded my computer, by adding a second hard drive for a new OS, and kept the old drive as the data drive. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new drive and import my bookmarks from the old Mozilla install on the old drive. I can't find the files on the old drive with my bookmarks. Should they still be there, or when I reinstalled Firefox, did I lose everything even though it was on another drive? I can't find any backup files on the old drive, and would like to restore my old bookmarks. Is there any way to do this?

You need find your profile folder in the old drive, the way must be:

  1. First show the hidden files and folder:
  2. Then go to:
    • <old drive>:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  3. Enter in your profile, then enter in the bookmarkbackups folder.
  4. Copy the most recent json file(bookmarks backup)
  5. Then restore from them:

Thank you for the help, that solved the problem. Once I got the hidden files to show, I was able to find the path, although it was different than stated. My old OS was XP. The path in XP was D:\Documents and Settings\Ron\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\u78ka8vk.default\bookmarkbackups. Hope this also may help anyone else who is upgrading from Windows XP.
