I copied User folders and Program Files folder onto a data drive, and did a clean install of Windows 7 (I forgot to do the Backup Bookmarks option in Firefox Menu. Now I am trying to copy that information back into Firefox without success. Is there any way I can copy this data into the new install of Windows and Firefox manually, or have I lost the use of all my old bookmarks.
