I did what Karlos suggested and it worked. I had a crash and had to reinstall windows and then reinstall Firefox which was version 3.52. All my bookmarks were gone. However when you reinstall Windows Vista, it saves alot of files into a folder called “windows.old.” When I did the reinstall, I did not know this. My bookmarks were there and I did what Karlos advised. Theyyyyyre Baaaak!!!

I was able to find the bookmark html file but I wasn’t able to access the folder to paste it for some reason. Instead, I simply pasted it to my desktop. Then, opened up “Organize Bookmarks” in the Bookmarks tab. Up at the top of the Organize window, I clicked on Import and Backup, then selected the Import HTML tab. Navigated to the desktop and Voila!

I lost my bookmarks upgrading from Firefox 2.0 to 3.0.6. It definitely caught me off guard. I’ve never lost my bookmarks upgrading with Mozilla in the past.

I lost all of my bookmarks too and followed the steps to retrieve them, I found the back up folders but they did not contain all of my bookmarks, nothing I do is working, I cannot find my bookmarks. I hate the thought of taking my computer in and paying over a $100 to have a computer tech try to find them, especially if they are really “lost” forever.

@tiffany: Are you saved your password using Firefox? If yes, you can goto Tools -> Options -> Security -> Press Saved Passwords -> Press Show Passwords. After that, you can view your saved passwords.

That is a handy trick. I would be sad if I lost my bookmarks because I tend to bookmark sites that I wouldn’t be able to remember on my own.
