I just did a clean install of Windows 7. Before I did, I backed up the HD on an external one. My question is, I want to find my bookmarks and I can't seem to find the file that they are in. Does anyone know what file they would be under if they were actually saved?

Did you export your bookmarks to a backup file, or are you trying to go in and "rip" them out of the installation folder?





You should have exported them.

This won't help you now, but in the future I highly recommend MozBackup.

+1, try to copy your old profile folder.  It should restore all your bookmarks, settings, etc...

Trying to find them in the old installation folder. I thought about exporting them about halfway through the install

I tried that but it did not restore them but I am still searching for this "profile" folder.

I will do that from now on!
