My desktop computer crashed and I purchased a new laptop. I was able to salvage the hard drive and files. Can I pull my bookmarks and cookies from the old hard drive and install them on the new computer with FireFox installed?

I have saved the entire contents of the failing hard drive on an external hard drive. I need to know where the bookmarks and cookie files are loacated and where they need to go on the new system. Thank You
