I have a hard drive that Windows will no longer boot on. I was able to copy much of the drive to a folder in my reinstalled hard drive.

Is there any way to find the old bookmarks and put it in my reinstalled hard drive?

Thanks,

I Kneed2No

The Firefox Profile Folder is in a hidden location:

  • XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
  • Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
