I am using Firefox 83.0 on Windows 10.

I have a recovered C: drive from my old PC that died. I need to recover the Firefox bookmarks on that drive. Anyone know where are they located?

Thanks, Steve

Hi, please see if this helps - see under the heading 'Finding your profile without opening Firefox' in Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

I knew I was going to get this type of response. I specifically said I was trying to recover thye bookmarks form "a recovered drive". Which means I cannot access from a browser, the files exist on an external drive.

I need to know the file location from Windows Explorer, not Firefox browser.

Can anyone else help?

Thanks.
