Solving development problems  |  About this blog

Imagine that you computer crashed (let’s hope it will not) and be optimistic (that means that you do daily/weekly/monthly backups or your HDD is still alive).

1. Before you reinstall your OS (this tutorial is for Vista and Windows 7) make sure you have backup of your data.
2. Go to this folder of your original (crashed) system and copy all from it to some folder in your new OS filesystem:
   C:\Users\[SOME_USER]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[SOME_RANDOM_CODE].default\

   where:
   [SOME_USER] is your current logged user’s username
   [SOME_RANDOM_CODE] – some random Firefox profile code like: mhwibcep.default

3. Now, go to the new Firefox folder on your reinstalled OS:
   C:\Users\[SOME_USER]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[OTHER_RANDOM_CODE].default\

   where:
   [SOME_USER] is your current logged user’s username
   [OTHER_RANDOM_CODE] – some other random Firefox profile code from your new Firefox installation like: bbtibcep.default

4. Copy all files from Step 2 into Step 3
