Lost Firefox bookmarks when upgrading operating system.

Question

My IT dept upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 and I lost all my Firefox bookmarks. They recovered my old IE favorites, but they aren't trained on Firefox. Any suggestions how to recover those bookmarks?

Answer 1

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
Firefox menu button > Options
View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup
