Because of an error on my hard drive I had to switch to a copy of Windows on a different partition. I can access the partition containing the original copy of Windows. Are there files that contain bookmark information and Firefox GUI setup information that I can copy to my new installation of Firefox on the new partition so the new installation will be customized like the old?
