Need help finding my old bookmarks on my hard drive that might have been erased when I did a reset Windows 10 install. Unfortunately, I had to restore my hard drive, and the Windows 10 tech advisor didn't tell me to save my Firefox bookmarks before I started the restore process. But the bookmarks might still be somewhere on my computer? And I don't think I ever created a Firefox account. So I don't think Firefox saved them.

Sync isn't a backup it does just what it says sync data if you sync new data old data is wiped out. And if you did no Firefox backups there nothing any user on here can help. Reset wipes clean everything.

But I still have my old Windows 10 hard drives. So I was wondering if anyone knew what folder to look under on my old hard drives that might have Firefox bookmarks? That was my question. I'm aware the new hard drive has been wiped. But I still have 2 old hard drives that might have my bookmarks on them. Because I didn't wipe or reset or sync those drives.

Brian, Firefox maintains backups of bookmarks in a folder named "bookmarkbackups" within a profile folder. So you could try searching the old drives for folders with this name.

If nothing is found, then you might want to check that the search process can find hidden files and folders.

The backups will have names of the form "bookmarks-*.jsonlz4". So alternatively, you could try searching for filenames matching this pattern.

If you find any such backups, then you can import them via the "Import and Backup" menu in the bookmarks library. See the "Restoring from backups" section here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them (But note the part "Caution: Restoring bookmarks from a backup will overwrite your current set of bookmarks with the ones in the backup file".)

You can check if you have the C:\Windows.old folder with your Firefox profile data.
