My old computer that was running windows xp stopped working. I installed the old hard drive into my new computer so I could drag the files I wanted onto my new computer's hard drive. How can I find the firefox bookmarks on the old hard drive and still use them on the new computer I just installed firefox onto?

On Windows XP you can find the profile folder in this hidden location:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

"AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.
