Main computer with Vista lost the motherboard. The hard drive is fine. I have it installed in my wife's Vista computer. I need all my book marks out of the old hard drive but can't find them. I tried to use the profile program but it only will find the profile on the main C drive. My Vista Hard drive is now the F drive in this computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hopefully this support article is what you need:

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles

You should be able to bring the profile folder over from one place to another. See this to know about managing profiles.

If you want to just port bookmarks, you need to export them from one profile and inport them into another. See:

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing+Bookmarks

You may also want to use an online synchronization service (like Firefox Sync) to do this, although that kind of services is usually used for something a bit different than one time ports.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders" You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files

Vista/Windows 7: F:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\ XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
