    Nice video But to delete a file or folder with out it going to the bin - Hold down Shift - Right click the file or folder you want to delete permanently. In the popup menu click delete - the prompt will say - this will permanently delete the file or folder - click OK to delete or NO to stop from deleting the file or folder permanently.

    Great video. Very helpful. I think creating an account and syncing is much easier. Can you please create a video about how to import bookmarks/passwords from a dead Dell PC that has a working hard drive? I have been able to connect the HD via a powered SATA connector to my new PC via USB. THANK YOU.

    My pc crashed. I believe I can locate the bookmarks once I mount that drive as an external drive to the new computer, but I’m hoping the passwords are also saved on that drive rather than in the actual program (which I obviously have no access to).

    I think your best bet is to backup the whole profile folder and then overwrite the new one that is created when you reinstall Firefox, if you sign in with a Firefox account this backs up your bookmarks and passwords to the cloud and should restore them when you sign in again.

    If you can try using Sync on Firefox its the best way to backup everything. Or you can always backup C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxx.default then copy the contents of the folder that ends .default into the folder that ends .default on your new machine.
