I just updated my computer on windows 7 and I can't find my old favorites from before the update help?

k so I just updated my computer and I can't find my favorites yet ive tried it before google search and the entire solution did nothing, I even tried the tasks of file that didn't work because I don't know what they would be under. Please help a lot of important things lost...

First of all the set Windows 7 to show hidden files and folders, for details of how to proceed, see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial151.html

Now set your computer look for a file called places.sqlite, you will find at least one copy in your current profile folder (the location where user data is stored). For more information on how to access your profile folder, see the article of profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data .

If there is a second copy of this file also can contain your old favorites. With Firefox closed, rename the version in your current profile in places.sqlite.old folder, and then copy the other file in your profile folder. Restart Firefox to see if your old favorites are back.
