I had to open another account on my MAC because it was compromised. Lost History, Bookmarks, Notes, etc. Can I get them back? HELP.

That sums it up pretty well. I am lost without these.

Thanks,

Do you still have access to the old account?

In the old account; Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

On Mac you can find the profile folder in this hidden location (~/Library is hidden):

  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/

As administrator you should be able to access someone else user account unless you already have removed this account and do not have a backup e.g. in the Time Machine.
