My entire computer was backed up with Carbonite. When I "restored" my mac, I reinstalled Firefox. How do I get my bookmarks back?

Réiteach roghnaithe

You can locate the Firefox profile folder in the Carbonite backup.

  • /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/

You would need the places.sqlite file to recover the bookmarks.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Director: Show Folder (Linux: Open Director; Mac: Show in Finder)

Note that in Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
