Is it possible to transfer my bookmarks from an old hard drive? My old HD (1TB) wouldnt load windows any more...So I made it a slave and add a (500GB) as my main drive. I can still see everything on the 1TB. I then reloaded windows vista and downloaded firefox and want to bring the bookmarks from drive D: to C:

Chosen solution

This folder is the installation folder.

First unhide files and folder:

Then access the old profile folder: "Old Drive":\Users\"username"\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles Click on the profile with “default” in the name to open it in a window.

In this folder you will find the bookmarks folder and the places.sqlite file
