We had to get a new computer and I want to copy bookmarks. Where were they stored?
Our old computer, desktop with Windows XP, wouldn't start, so we bought a new one (Windows 7). Extraction of data from the hard drive of the old computer.
Is it possible that I can get the Firefox bookmarks? All information I found had to do with bookmarks to find a computer that is running now.
Thank you.
Leah
On Windows XP, your Firefox data was stored in this path:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Because the Application Data is a hidden folder, to walk this path, you generally need to change a setting in Windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article explains how to do on Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files
Once you get off in your Firefox data, you will find one or more profile semi-randomly-named folders. If there is more than one, find the most recent.
At this point, you have two options:
- Copy the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and history of your old profile folder to the new
- Restore a backup of the folder bookmarkbackups file in your old profile and forget history
These articles have more information on the methods and files available:
- Recovering important data over an old profile
- Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer
Success?

Hi carlkent,
Your serial for Photoshop CS2 key would not work as the activation for CS2 servers were closed.
You must visit this link to download the version CS2 and use the key to series mentioned in this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html

Yes, you can download the demo version and use your serial number to activate it to use fully. Downoads CS4 are related through the page that I linked earlier.

I have a new computer that does not have any installed web browser when I acquire. So, I can't download Firefox, say, by using Internet Explorer. Can I get a copy of Firefox on a CD and use instead.
Hello, Lars.
Although not related to your problem, I must remind you that the version of Firefox you are using right now has been deleted and is no longer supported. In addition, he has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and ease of use. You can get it for free, as always, to getfirefox.com.
If you want to buy a CD of Firefox, go here. Remember that Firefox is free software, and you will pay only for the CD itself and the packages and ports. You can download Firefox from where you want, where you want, when you want, and you can share it with whoever you want, always. In my opinion, I think that you simply store the installer of Firefox in a USB key (download it from {[http://getfirefox.com| getfirefox.com], of course}) or a removable storage like this device and then reinstall it from there, the new computer.
Also and by the way, what OS will? I can't think of any modern operating system that does not have a way to download the software immediately the bat. Windows comes with Internet Explorer, or with a way to download another browser of your choice, Linux has an absolutely brilliant software Center where you can type just Firefox and it will download and install the latest version of Firefox in two clicks (he's genius really), and I think that Mac OS X should have some sort of something like that also. In addition, it comes with Safari, I think. I don't know about Solaris, Unix and other operating systems like that, so I'm just curious.
In any case, I hope this helps.
