How do I get my bookmarks back after updating to Windows 7?

I updated to Windows 7 on a new hard drive. I backed up my C:\ drive to a Seagate external hard drive first. After installing Windows & all my programs. I restored the data from my Seagate drive, but I don't have any bookmarks from Firefox. I had over 50 bookmarks and they are all missing. I tried opening the backup and starting Firefox from inside the backup, but I got the newly loaded Firefox with no bookmarks. How can I get them back?

The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

  • How do I get my bookmarks back after update?

    I did the new update on my work Mac a couple days ago and it added all of my Safari bookmarks from my personal MacBook Pro. I deleted a few of the bookmarks that I didn't need on that Mac.
    I just did the update on my MacBook Pro, not thinking anything about it, and now a couple of full folders of bookmarks that I had are gone and all of the bookmarks from my Mac are there too. Is there a way to get my old bookmarks back and to prevent them from disappearing if I delete on one Mac and not the other??
    This is so frustrating...

    You get the import wizard if the profiles.ini file that registers all Firefox profiles is missing.

    You can check if there still is an older profile folder.

  • How do i get my favorites back after updating software on IPad?

    How do I get my favorites back after updating software on Ipad? It asked to back up and restore which I did but now I cant find the favorites. Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Do you mean the Messages icon has disappeared from your DOCK on your Mac ?
    Or do you mean that Messages does not appear in your Applications folder either ?
    Or do you mean that in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts the iMessages account is not Logged in ?

  • Hi, may i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6

    Hi,
    May i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6 and all my data lost ?

    You can restore the phone and when prompted to restore choose from icloud account. BUT MAKE SURE there is 1.) an icloud backup for your phone. 2.) you are using the same apple id.

  • How can I get my bookmarks back after uninstalling Firefox?

    When uninstalling Firefox, it asked me if I wanted to delete my bookmarks, etc. I clicked in the check box to delete them, but after a couple days, I realized I should have saved them. Someone told me there is probably a temp folder that is hidden somewhere for just this reason. Can anyone help me get my bookmarks back please? Oh yea, my OS is Vista and I have reinstalled Firefox 3.6.8

    You can try with an undelete program like Recuva if you can restore a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • How do I get my touchscreen back after upgradin to windows 10 and then returning to windows 8.1

    I upgraded my laptop to windows 10 and did not like it.  returned to windows 8.1 and now I have lost the touchscreen capabilities.   How do I get the touchscreen back?

    There is a solution in the thread immediately below this one that has an answer to restoring the touch screen.I would imagine the proceedure is the same in both Win8 and Win10. Try it. I forgot - it won't be where it was after I replied.... it's here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Touchscreen-not-working-after-windows-10-update/td-p/5170340

  • How do I get lost data back, after update  sync all pictures, notes and mail lost

    How do you get pictures, notes contacts and mail back, lost after update on IPhone5

    Restore the backup that you made when you last synced your phone to iTunes on your computer. Alternatively, if you enabled iCloud backup on the phone, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.

  • How do i get my contacts back after updation of the software on iphone 4S

    when i updated my iphone software to ios 6.0 all my contacts got deleted....what do i do?

    Hi there!
    May I confirm whether you used iTunes (while the iphone was plugged into the computer) to perform the update, or if the update was performed "wirelessly" through the device's settings?
    Regardless, your solution should lie within your last backup (typically performed automatically when the phone is "sync'd" with itunes on the computer).

  • HT1414 How can I get my contacts back after update 5.1.1? I've tried everything

    After updating my Iphone 4 to the 5.1.1 version all my contacts are now gone. Ive tried restore and all the tricks everyone suggests. What else can I do?
    Thanks!

    Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data as contacts.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer.
    Contacts can also be synced over the air with an email account that supports this, and there are a number of free accounts that do including an Apple iCloud account, a Gmail account, a Yahoo account, and a Hotmail account.   If you have tried all the tricks everyone suggests and your contacts are not available anywhere else, they are gone.

  • How can i get my bookmarks back, after mozilla crashed and got stuck in safe mode?

    I was using mozilla as usual when suddenly it crashed and then my computer turned off. i restarted it and said it had gone into safe mode. i tried to restart the computer again but it was stuck on safe mode.
    The bad part is that all my bookmarks are gone and apparently there is no way of getting them back.
    please help!

  • How do I get my bookmarks back after upgrading to Firefox 4?

    Well I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and I can't find my bookmarks.They were pretty important and I really need them.I'm pretty new to Firefox so I don't know if I lost them or not.If I did, can I get them back?

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How do I get my contacts back after updating ios6 to my 4s

    After upgrading to io6 my contacts have all disapeared. The dropdown menu for restoring to a previose backup only has today's backup. I tried to restore from info page on itunes and didn't work as only backup to restore to was today. My icloud contacts is also empty. I am curently horified. This is the first apple phone i have owned and I am shocked that thios could happen. At no time did I ever click ok when there was a warning that all my contacts will be eresed from everywhere permanently.

    TY for the reply - I only have one pc. I checked icloud online via my computer and there are no contacts there. I have tried turning i cloud on and off. I looked in the backup folder for earlier backups and the folder only has today's date in it. My messges are still there but they don't show names anymore - just numbers.
