My daughter's XP desktop computer crashed, and I am replacing it with another XP box. The old main drive is a slave drive on the new machine, and I can get all the document and picture files. Firefox is being a bear, however....is there any way to recover the Bookmarks file from the old disk and merge it onto the new one? If I had exported a bookmarks.htm file BEFORE the crash, I would be fine...but even running Firefox from the old drive won't seem to let me grab the bookmarks.

Last weekend I had to do some maintenance work on someone’s XP computer that was about the same age give or take. The thing worked fine and did what it was supposed to do but it did feel a bit like a relic - can’t exactly put my finger on why but it felt like watching an old TV show or something.

Have a look at the old drive under C:\Documents and Settings>> **user** >>Application Data>>Mozilla>>Firefox>>Profiles>>Backups.

There should be a bookmarks.html file there or maybe in the Profiles directory. It usually makes a bookmarks backup when FF is exited.
