How do I use "Favorites" (not Bookmarks!), i.e. how do I access the Favorites menu?

All I want to know is how to access the Favorites (not the Bookmarks!) , so I can access some information I had saved before in Favorites?! I know how to save stuff in Favorites, but I don't know how to retrieve information from Favorites.

There is NOT "Favorites" in firefox, only bookmarks(it is the same), favorites you can find in IE.

If you want to access the folder where bookmarks are click the Start button(in windows) and type: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ then see Profiles for more info.

If you want to import favorites from Internet Explorer see: Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer

PlainOldFavorites addon
Use Windows and Internet Explorer Favorites directly from Firefox. No need to import, export or synchronize - the same Favorites appear everywhere.
