I recently had an issue with my last computer where it stopped powering on. I determined the best course of action was to purchase a new computer. My old computer was running Firefox 15.0.1 on Windows XP. My new computer has a fresh download of Firefox at the newest version of 16.0.2 on Windows 7. I saved the hard drive from my last computer as I managed to do a backup of all my files except I forgot to do my bookmarks from both internet explorer and Firefox. Today my new computer came, and I attached the old hard drive to my new computer assuming that my bookmarks would still be available on that hard drive and I could just move them over to my computer. However, after a little digging in the Firefox program files I came across a document called removed-files. I opened it as a Microsoft Word document and searched for the word "bookmark*" in the file. I came across some disturbing evidence that looks to me as though my bookmarks have been arbitrarily deleted from my old hard drive's Firefox program files, as I came across 3 files with the word bookmark in this document: components/bookmarks.xpt defaults/profile/bookmarks.html modules/services-sync/engines/bookmarks.js So my question is, do I have any hope of recovery of my old bookmarks? Or are they lost forever? I had probably close to 100 there, so it would obviously be very time consuming to add them all back manually. Any help anyone could provide would be most help helpful.
