For windows SP, restarted pc to factory settings and my bookmarks are gone. How to recover.
Microsoft XP PC - restored to factory settings d/t PC performance poor - when I reinstalled to factory settings, all my Bookmards for FireFox were gone (as well as downloads) and no way to use backup or restore as the date is not available. All my emails were still avail. How do I get my Bookmarks back as they must be on the PC somewhere?

On newer versions of Windows, there often is a new folder named:
C:\Windows.old\
which contains your Firefox data. However, I don't know whether a Windows XP recovery/reinstall creates that folder.
When searching around, make sure to unhide hidden files and folders: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/win_fcab_show_file_extensions.mspx
Then check under this path:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
You need to find an additional folder here, since the currently active one does not have your old data
If you do not quickly find your Firefox data, stop all work on the computer and try an unerase utility such as the following: https://www.piriform.com/recuva -- the more you use the computer, the less likely this kind of software will recover intact files.
