Uninstalled old Firefox version. Installed new version. Bookmarks gone. How to recover them?
I unstalled my old Firefox version without saving my bookmarks. I then installed the current Firefox version and realized that all my bookmarks are gone. I tried already to restore them, it finds the file, but then I cannot import them. The c:\windows.old thing does not work for me. Any other ideas where to look for my old bookmarks? Thanks, Daniela

hello daniella,
windows.old pertains/has your old o.s. It is created when windows is updraded to a newer version
in regards to your firefox, why did you not simply allow the former version to be upgraded instead of unistalling it?

How many profiles are listed?
How many should be there?
Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.
