New Computer Profile Created, Lost all My Previous Bookmarks! How can I restore my previous bookmarks from a past computer profile to my new profile? IE bookmarks were not erased, just my Firefox bookmarks.
I was having problems with my Windows 7 computer, and HP assisted me in creating a new profile, and then deleting my previous profile (I'm the only user on my laptop). Unfortunately, I did not save my Firefox bookmarks - didn't think to do this! So, I have lost all my bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve my old bookmarks from my previous profile, and install them into my new profile? IE did not suffer this same fate - all my bookmarks (albeit different ones and not as extensive, unfortunately as FF bookmarks were) are still intact.

Oh no :/ Unfortunately, if you deleted the old profile without saving, my hopes are slim to none on this, but we can try!
Try to search your computer for the file "Bookmarks.html". You can see if it finds it from your old bookmarks. If that doesn't, try looking for "places.sqlite". If you already have Firefox set up with your new profile, you may find the new versions, so make sure you check the dates of the files that are found.
You can read Recovering important data from an old profile, which has more tips.

Thanks, Tyler. I'll try both suggestions. I didn't think to save the bookmarks for FF at the time. I was just trying to avoid a complete reimaging at the time.
Okay, no luck. Everything appears to be more current than when I had my profile recreated by HP. Boo.
Well the unfortunately, you are probably out of luck :/ Sorry about that.
For the future, read Backing up your information to help prevent this from happening again.
Well, next best thing is to try importing my IE bookmarks. Better than nothing. Thanks for trying to help me, Tyler!
