I had to refresh my computer and it saved my files but none of my bookmarks. Through various searches I I was able to display the hidden files and then to find the old bookmark file, C:\Windows.old\users\robin\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. But now I don't know what to do with it. How do I get these in the new download of Firefox? Please help me.
