I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I went to set up sync, I started a new account and now cannot reach my old bookmarks. how can I get my old bookmarks and put them in the current bookmarks file?

Use this to stop using the new account: Tools > Options > Sync > Unlink This Device

Then you can connect to your old account by entering the account name (email) and password and sync key.

  • Click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
  • Click "I already have a Firefox Sync account" : Connect
  • Click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom
