How can I get bookmarks from my laptop now that the motherboard is dead?
Laptop motherboard died - a friend transferred my files onto an external hard drive including my backed-up Firefox bookmarks, but (sadly) the last time I backed those up was 6 months ago. At least I have those on my new laptop now, but I'd *love* to get my most current bookmarks back - the ones I had on my laptop when the motherboard died. Is this possible, or are they gone forever? Thanks!

You will need to be able to access the files on the old hard drive, so hopefully your friend put that drive in a USB enclosure so you can still access the files on that old drive.

So as long as I can access the old files, I can get the bookmarks that I didn't even back up?
If you can access the Firefox Profile on that old drive, you won't need backups. You can copy the data files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files in the new Profile.
