How to locate list of Add-ons from previous install of Firefox
I had a list of Add-ons on my Firefox running on XP. There were issues with the XP system that forced me to wipe the Hard drive and do a clean install of XP. Now that it is fully running again, I have installed Firefox. PROBLEM... I do not remember all the Add-ons and there settings. I did backup my previous system including c:\program files on another hard drive.
1) Can you point to where the Firefox info is stored? 2) Is there a way to copy the old file or can you read it and supply the Add-on names?
Thanks.

Firefox doesn't store personal data in the Firefox program folder location, but uses a folder in %AppData%.
- C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You would need the extensions.json file to see what add-ons you previously had.
You can copy files like these to the current Firefox profile folder to recover specific data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
- persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups

When you wiped the disk, did you save the old information?
yes, As I stated in my question, the files are on another hard drive - - I just do not know which files to look for.
