Can I Find My Firefox Favorites?

[steveseven]

I clean sweep upgraded from winXP to Win7. is there somewhere I can find my FireFox favorites, somewhere in the program files maybe? I found the favorites for IE, so there must be a way to get them back for FF

Steve7 Welcome.

Clean sweep meaning you formatted your HD? Is so everything is gone unless you made a backup.
If you upgraded you should see a directory called Windows OLD which should have everything you had on your system.

Hope for the best.

Have a look in APPDATA\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles in windows.old

 

[steveseven]

i have mozilla under program files (.old), but i cant find a profiles folder in it

 

[whs]

If you can't find the FF favorites I'd copy the old IE favorites into the New Favorites Directory then go into FF and import.

This should help,

Profiles

shows where everything is and what it is called.

P.S. The %appdata% folder you are looking for is under,

C:\windows.old\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

You may need to enable the "See all folders,files and drives" option in Folder options in order to view your AppData files.
