I had my computer repaired because of a virus attack (XP Antispyware 2012). The technician cleared my hard drive system, saving all my documents in C:drive in a folder and reinstalled Windows XP OS. I was informed that all installed programs would be lost and would have to be reinstalled. My original Firefox browser was lost. After the computer was returned to me, I reinstalled the latest version of Firefox . However, none of my bookmarks were automatically added to the newer version of Firefox. Did I lose them forever or is there an ingenious way of gathering those bookmarks somewhere within the computer system and adding them to Firefox? Thank you for your assistance. Eyes61@hotmail.com
