The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Trying to recover Mozilla Firefox bookmarks

Asked by zovoth in Mozilla Web Browser, Internet & Email Software

Greetings wise wizards of EE:
I recently helped a friend reformat her HP Pavilion Windows Vista laptop. Before doing so, I backed up her ENTIRE hard drive onto an external hard drive of mine, using a cool program called Retrospect. However, I wasn't aware that she uses Mozilla Firefox exclusively, so I didn't take the precaution of exporting her Firefox bookmarks before the reformat. Whoops.
The reformat finished without a hitch, and I've got her entire system backup and reconstructed just the way she wants, except for the Mozilla Firefox bookmarks. I have searched through the backup data I created for her, in the C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/defaults/profiles folder, and did indeed find a bookmarks.html file, but after copying it onto her laptop, and then importing it into her Firefox browser, the bookmarks are empty.
I've also turned "Show hidden files and folders", and looked in her backup data (on the external hard drive) in what was: C:/Users/HERNAME/AppData/Local/Mozilla Firefox for a bookmarks.html file, but found none.
Finally, I even copied both of the above Mozilla Firefox folders in her backup data, and PASTED them in the appropriate location on her laptop hard drive, overwriting her current Mozilla files (with Firefox closed when I did so), and then opened Firefox. The bookmarks are still missing in action.
I am hoping that I simply missed something. I know this would have been a snap, had I taken the precaution of exporting her bookmarks, but alas, only now am I none the wiser. It makes sense to me that the browser stored the bookmarks SOMEWHERE on her old hard drive, which I have a complete copy of.
My question is: Is there someway of retrieving her Mozilla Firefox bookmarks, even though I haven't exported them?
Many thanks in advance,
