I cannot sync my bookmarks
Hello, My old computer is broken and I cannot use it anymore. Anyway, the hard drive is available and I can download files from it. I had Mozilla on my old laptop and sync was on. When I installed the mozilla on my new laptop and synced mozilla everything was okay but the bookmarks didn't appear. Very weird.
Do you have any idea how I can recover them, that's very important for me. Is there something in the cloud or not? Or if I can import files where can I find them on my old hard drive? Where and which is the folder? Names of the files?
Hope you can help,
Thanks,

use mozbackup
The profile folder is in this location:
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Note that "AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.

Thanks, I found the folder, I copied all the files from the old folder bookmarkbackups to the new one but nothing happened. The bookmarks still don´t appear. Should I copy the whole Profile folder or what?
