My computer crashed, and I updated to Windows 7. My old files were backed up. I downloaded Firefox, and I would like to get my old bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. Can I do that by copying/replacing files?

For details of how to do that see Recover important data from an old profile.

You may need to set up Windows to show hidden files in order to view the profile folder (location where Firefox stores user data). For details on how to do that see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html
