If this ever happens to you on Firefox what I have stated above and you want back your bookmarks, do the following. I'm using Windows XP so other computers like Mac and Linux may differ.
- Locate your older, default folder. You do this by doing so. C:/ drive, Documents and Settings, Owner (or whoever you are), Application Data, Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles, ...(your old profile; most likely default)
- If you cannot get to Application Data, that's because you can't view hidden folders. To do so, go to your explorer (the window in which you view folders and files in) and view the top. Go to Tools > Folder Options. Go down to where it says you can view hidden files and make sure it's bulleted.
- Now go to your Firefox browser and go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks. Then go to File > Import. Then select "From files" and click continue (or next). Select bookmarks.bat from the folder that I showed you how to get to and import it.
- There you go. If you're confused, then contact me through my e-mail that's located in my profile. You most likely will be confused because I stink at giving out instructions plus what I did was probably harder than what somebody with more knowledge than me can do.
Now if I come on tomorrow and this newer profile isn't working, there's going to be trouble and it's called mallet meets hard drive.
