Where can I find Firefox Favorites stored on my single-user computer?

I uninstalled Firefox 4 Bld 9, which glitched out all the Favorites set up in Firefox 3.6. I want to backup the 3.6 Favorites before trying FF4 again, but can't find Firefox Favorites folder on my single-user machine.

Also cannot completely uninstall FF4 via Windows XP Home (SP3) Control Panel.

IE8 retained Favorites un-updated, as did Chrome. I was only able to re-construct all copy/pasting from IE8 and Chrome

Firefox Bookmarks are stored in one file, named places.sqlite, in your Profile folder.
