How do I get my bookmarks back after updating to Windows 7?

I updated to Windows 7 on a new hard drive. I backed up my C:\ drive to a Seagate external hard drive first. After installing Windows & all my programs. I restored the data from my Seagate drive, but I don't have any bookmarks from Firefox. I had over 50 bookmarks and they are all missing. I tried opening the backup and starting Firefox from inside the backup, but I got the newly loaded Firefox with no bookmarks. How can I get them back?

See:

The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

  • Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

This did not work because I could not create a new profile. Every time I tried to save the info and then copy the places file to it- there was no profile created. Also, I've been using Firefox for a long time, and I never had to create a profile before. However, this is the first clean install of an operating system I've done in years, and that could have something to do with it.

Use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
