My old computer (Windows 10) finally died, beyond economic (or even possible) repair. The SSDs on it have been copied. How do I access and restore the bookmarks from the drive copy to my new PC (Windows 11).

hi If the previous Windows storage location is available, Copy the firefox profile of the previous Windows from the path "C:\Users\"Old Windows Username"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" and place it in the same path in the new Windows

Note that "AppData\Roaming" is a hidden folder. See also:

Note that you also need profiles.ini or edit the current profiles.ini to point to the copied profile.
