Does anybody know how and where I can find/recover my Firefox website browser history after my MacBook Pro laptop was deemed to have a “hardware problem”?
My Apple MacBook Pro laptop (purchased brand new in June 2014) no longer starts-up, after I experienced a “hardware problem” over the weekend. With the help of Mac support on the phone, I have since recovered all of my Documents and Library from the internal hard drive by reinstalling the OS X operating system onto a blank LaCie rugged mini 2TB external hard drive and then dragging these folders onto it. All of this information has now been backed-up, so I can access it from my LaCie external hard drive. With this in mind, I was wondering if anybody knows how and where I can find/recover my Firefox website browser history? Can this be found in my recovered Library folder?

You need a backup copy of places.sqlite to restore your browsing history.
Are you possibly using the Time Machine ?
Location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).
- ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
Note that in Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the "~/Library" folder in the Home directory is a hidden folder.
