After having a crash, my hard drive data was saved in a backup file but I need help in finding and bringing the saved bookmark file(s) into the newly installed program.

Your old Profile is located here in Win XP and W2K:
drive:\Documents and Settings\Windows login user name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile_name

Thank you for directing me to the data file but how do I "import" it into the presently used (new) version of Firefox or "Paste" them into the saved bookmark tab?

Thanks again.....I answered my own last question to you and did get the bookmarks to "import" into the present version!

Much appreciated!
