View Single Post - Firefox bookmarks

I assume you are running Windows, so take a look in this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\bookmarkbackups

- USER is your username
- * is whatever your Firefox has named your profile

You should find some HTML backups, which you can then Import by opening Firefox browser and doing the following:

1) Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks...
2) In the dialog that opens: File -> Import -> From File
3) Navigate to the folder listed above and choose one of your backup HTML files

Hopefully there will still be a backup there you can use.
