The school board my father works for has decided to remove Firefox due to some security issues and did not warn him before removing it from his computer and now he has lost five years' worth of bookmarks for education tools. Is there anyway to get them back easily?

Did you verify that they have removed the Firefox program folder as well?

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

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