Firefox crashed I tried to restart but it wouldn't so I trashed my old Firefox and it saved an old Firefox Data folder on my Desktop. How do I transfer the boo
I was doing some travel research, Firefox crashed and wouldn't restart. I then tried to refresh Firefox and it save my "Old Firefox Data" in a folder on my desktop. I tried to restart Firefox but it kept saying my Profile was missing. I then followed directions to create a new Profile so I could get Firefox to open up. This worked and now I want to get my old bookmarks into my new profile from the "Old Firefox Data" folder.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop then you can recover some personal data from a recent profile in that folder. You can copy/transfer files like these to your current Firefox profile folder.
- bookmarks/history: backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and possibly places.sqlite if you really need the history
- other SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- permissions.sqlite and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for Permissions and Site Preferences
- cert8.db for stored intermediate certificates (Certificate Manager)
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups
You can recover more personal data.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
