Losing bookmarks
I have just purchased a new computer, and have been able to transfer everything including bookmarks, but not the passwords. I've transferred the profiles folder in its entirety, but they don't seem to come over. Any suggestions on how to do this. Old system is Windows 98, new is XP, Firefox V 1.02.
The passwords are stored in signons.txt & key3.db files in your profile folder. If you are copying profiles across note the advice in this post:

OK, I kept the default on and it STILL doesnt have my old bookmarks.
THANK YOU!
Guest, no one has any way of knowing who you are or the details of your problem. You need to identify yourself.

<b>Backup Your Bookmarks and Profile</b>
Bookmark Backup 0.3.3 Synchronize bookmarks between Browsers Once you find a thread with your problem <b>READ</b> through it. Don't just post you are having the same problems. Lost Bookmarks? "All Bookmarks are gone" -Bring them back! I lost my marbles. Does that count?  Raspberry PI 400 Distro: Raspberry Pi OS Base: Debian Sid Kernel: 5.15.26-v8+ aarch64 DE: MATE Ram 4GB
Debian - "If you can't apt install something, it isn't useful or doesn't exist" My Giant Sources.list
Richard, the bookmark.html is empty and also the bak file. (423bytes).
The solution dosen't help me .
And yes, now I installed the backup (yesterday). How can i get my boomarks back? I read the whole thread yesterday! Nothing useful
It doesn't help us to say that there was nothing useful. You need to tell us what you did and what you found.
If you want, I can give you a reference to another site with screen shots that help you find the bookmarks if they are there. But first you have to agree to report back. Last edited by AnotherGuest. on May 18th, 2005, 7:39 am, edited 1 time in total.
using chkdsk or a undelete utility ... did not do it? ... or do you need help on reconstruction of the found file back into firefox ... assuming chkdsk created one ... or a web site to download a free undelete utility ... later, Richard Rule #1: My computer is always right, the human is always the problem ..
