Is there any way to retrieve FF data like passwords & Bookmarks from a hard disk drive? The laptop was running Win. Vista Home Premium and Fire Fox of about August 2010, I am not sure of the version.

See the Recover important data from an old profile article for details of the files to recover.

For the location of the old profile (location where Firefox stores user data), see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

You may need to set your computer to show hidden files in order to access the profile folder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
