You deleted my FVD speed dial. The old firefox data doesn't have my links. How can I get them back?

The automatic upgrade replaced all add ons with something else. I checked the old firefox data and cannot locate my links for the FVD speed dial. Links I have spent the last five years collecting. I had about 120 speed dials and no bookmarks.

Did Firefox perform a Refresh? The telltale sign is the appearance of an Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop. If you have one, check inside for a semi-randomly-named profile folder with freshly updated contents. If you find that, your FVD data is in there, but I don't personally know how to copy it to your current profile folder. You might need to check with FVD support.

There is an FVD Toolbar Folder. I opened it. Inside there are snap shots of the landing pages, but no links. Obviously, it's the links I need. Thanks, tho'. BTW, before I realised there weren't links, I manually pulled each image through from 'local files'. 121 of them! But without the links it was a silly, time wasting endeavour.

Please post on their forum and let us know what they say. I think the odds that someone will come along with the answer here are low.
