Well I followed all of that, the problem I'm having is locating the hidden profile folder in windows.old000, all of these sites only tell me how to find the profile currently in use, once i find the files I know i can transfer them to replace the new files

The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

  • Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
