I had my computer repaired done last month. CPU and mother board were replaced. I think most programs were uninstalled then reinstalled, except Firefox. The repair company said the bookmarks are probably saved, in the computer somewhere - just need to figure out where. I installed Firefox 26 after the repair. Don't know what version I was on before repair, but I had recently updated. The only things currently listed in my bookmarks (on tool bar) are the ones I've added since the repair. How do I find the old bookmarks and add them back to the current list??

Did they install a new hard drive or reinstall Windows?

Did they make a backup?

The Firefox profile folder is in a hidden location

  • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
  • %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Note that the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
