Help - After my mother board burnt out I got a new computer with win 7. now ive put the old hard drive in the new computer and want to transfer the bookmarks.
I've followed multiple solutions to the problem, I got as far as loading in a JSON file, but I can only seem to find json files on the hard drive up to 2010. and a file search of the drive brings no more recent json files. But i was using bookmarks for longer than that right up to the day it burnt out. I also looked at the places.sqlite and the bookmarks.html all seem to finish in 2010? I can't seem to find the relevant 2012 files?
- note this is a drive separate to the one with win 7 installed.
The only other solution i can think of is switching the drives booting up in xp and creating a backup. but i really don't want to do that and there should be an easier solution.

Bookmarks and Browsing History: The places.sqlite file contains all your Firefox bookmarks and the list of all the websites you’ve visited.
Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
This hasn't helped at all. I already found out what the files were and where they were. I need to know why it stops at 2010. how i got my 2010 bookmarks back and not ones from 2012, and where they could possibly be? it says in the date modified column that my usual log in for windows hadn't been modified since 2010, but I double checked documents and settings and its the only one that has these files. If i go to all users it doesn't list anything to do with it but it lists that things have been modified since then.
Thank you for your efforts but this seems like it needs more than links to other problems.
Are you sure that you found the most recently used Firefox Profile Folder?
- XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
- Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
You may be looking at an older profile.
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
