Importing Bookmarks
My Windows boot files crashed so I have a new hard drive. My old data is fine but I have to reinstall everything. Can I import bookmarks from my old drive?

If the data on the old drive is intact, it can be done.
First, you need to find your profile on the old drive. The path to it should be something like this; C:\Users\==<username>==\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\p3mhjjug.Firefox_54

persdict.dat : custom dictionary - words you added to the dictionary

prefs.js : Your settings. Note: If you were having problems, this could be contaminated.
