I upgraded the hard drive on my computer, first I did a full back up on an external drive. When I reloaded to my new drive, everything transferred fine, except for the bookmarks and favorites on FireFox. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my password and tried to reset it several times but somehow I kept getting messages about the wrong parameters. I don't know if it would help, but I have the original Sync Key from the old drive. Can you please help me? Thank you Monica Almas [email address] or [email address]

Hi Monica

I have removed your email address from your question for your privacy and security as this is an open forum.

Did you capture your Firefox profile in your full backup?

Note that the Firefox profile folder with your personal data is in a hidden location in "AppData\Roaming".
