Search history lost
Hello! I recently reinstalled Windows 7 and I have a Windows.old folder with my firefox in it but I'm not sure how to transfer my search history from there... I open it up with the shortcut in there but my search history is all gone. Can someone help? Thanks!

Hi Charles -
You can try copying the bookmarks and website history from the older Firefox profile by using this technique:
- Open this article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
- Follow the steps to open the folder that contains your current profile
- You will need to open the profile folder the Windows.Old folder. The profile folder will be nested under similar folders that your current profile is
User Name->AppData->Roamning->Mozilla->Firefox->Profiles->xyz.default (xyz is the specific code name for the profile but it is not in English)
- Open the profile and find the file places.sqlite and copy it.
- Go back to your current profile and paste it. Accept the copy over.
- Close Firefox and restart
This should restore your browsing history.
If you need any further assistance please let me know.
