Where did all of my bookmarks/address books/sent mail folders go?


If the Profile Manager is used to create a new Mozilla profile, it will not contain your existing bookmarks, browser and mail client settings, or Sent mail folders because it creates new profiles in the c:\Document and Settings\userid\Applications\Mozilla folder using a randomly generated directory name that ends in .slt.

The Profile Manager then replaces the registry.dat file (that tells Mozilla where to find its profile directory) with a new copy that points to the new profile location.

See the following FAQs for more information about what to do if this happens:
