Hello, I was using Firefox since Years without any problems.

Today firefox failed to startup and gave some serious error. I uninstalled the Firefox and thought maybe reinstalling the New version will help. Unfortunately after the uninstalling i remembered that i have forgotten to save the Bookmarks. :(

Bookmarks were very important to me. Now i am scared to install the New version of Bookmarks as it may delete then previous ones if they exist somewhere in my HD.

In the Mozzila Folder i can only see: chrome, components, extensions,plugins some error logs and one moz dll file. Theres no profile folder. :(

Can anyone help, if this is possible to recover my deleted Bookmarks.

--Thanks alot. AT.

If you didn't remove your personal data (files) in the Firefox Profile Folder while uninstalling Firefox then all your personal data, including bookmarks, is still there and Firefox will find it. However if your problems were caused by an issue with files in the profile folder than reinstalling Firefox won't help and you may still have the same problem.
