I decided to clear out my hard drive and do a factory reinstall.  I thought that I saved all the documents I need on a flash drive.  Unfortunately I forgot my Mozilla Firefox favorites.  A lot of my old files are located in a file called "old Windows", but I'm not sure if I can find the favorites list on there or how I would (finding were firefox puts stuff is hard enough as it is).  Any help?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

check to see if your old.windows directory has a "users" directory.  From there, it will be in the same directory as Firefox usually puts it.

I am unsure that all your personal data was copied over windows.old though.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.
