Bookmarks/Profile - Where on HDD in Vista?

Post by rubiohiguey » 2011-09-15, 06:03

My HDD crashed with boot sector problems. So I am reinstalling everything. However, I cannot locate the place where Pale Moon stored bookmarks on my HDD. Obviously I cannot run Palemoon to export bookmarks into HTML etc. so if you could please let me know where on HDD in Vista Palemoon stores its settings, especially bookmarks, I would be really grateful.

I went into Mozilla profile under Appdata/Roaming/Mozilla but the profile data were modified in March, so a longt ime ago, I gues sthis is not where Palemoon now stores the profile/bookmark info....

P.S. i do not know what version fo Palemoon I had, but I have been using Palemoon for about 6 months now, if that is any help.

Thank you.

George

You can find the profile of Pale Moon under %APPDATA%\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon
On Vista/7 this would be C:\Users\{your user name}\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\

Your bookmarks will be stored in the file places.sqlite

A description and file name of other files with data to recover can be found in the Mozillazine knowledge base:
