Need help to locate backed up Firefox profile to restore after Windows and Firefox re-install

Prior to getting some desktop PC upgrades that required a new install of Windows 11 and a new install of Firefox, I backed up my entire PC (yea!).

Now that I have re-installed Firefox, I see that I have none of my saved bookmarks and so I want to restore the Firefox profile - all of it or at least the bookmarks.

I have tried following the Firefox instructions for this, but am apparently not doing it right.

I can't seem to locate the bookmarks file, for starters, in my backed up files. I find the profile but I don't find anything like places.sqlite.

Can someone help me so that I am locating the right (and complete) files, copying them correctly, and then switching to the new/old profile correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Does your backup show this path:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

AppData is a hidden folder, and the backup software might have preserved that attribute. You can set Windows to show hidden files and folders using the steps in the following article:

If you were looking in Local instead of Roaming then make sure to look in Roaming for the good stuff.

jscher2000,

Thank you, a million and one times!

You nailed it! I was looking at the Local sub-folder instead of the Roaming sub-folder.

Fixed!!!

Thanks so very much.
