</p>If you still have that old computer, remove the hard drive and put it in a USB drive enclosure - (sh2012-01-28T16:23:16-08:00the-edmeisterhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/915980#answer-303956<p>If you still have that old computer, remove the hard drive and put it in a USB drive enclosure - <em>(should be available from most stores that sell new computers)</em> and recover your Firefox data from the old hard drive.

</p>Hi Big1011Guy,
Do you still have access t the old computer? Can you at least turn it on temporarily?2012-01-28T03:12:58-08:00Matt_Ghttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/915980#answer-303751<p>Hi Big1011Guy,
</p><p>Do you still have access t the old computer? Can you at least turn it on temporarily? If you can, you should take a look at the <a href="/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles" rel="nofollow">Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles</a> Knowledge Base article. It will give you all the information you need to transfer everything from bookmarks to passwords onto your new computer.
</p><p>Hopefully this helps!
