How do I find the bookmark file?

more options

I had a computer with Windows XP and the CPU died. I got a new computer (this one with windows 7). The hard drive in the old computer was okay so I transferred it into the new computer as a second hard drive. Because the old computer died suddenly I didn't have a chance to do any exporting of my Bookmark files but all of the files are on the old hard drive and presumed to be okay. But what I cannot figure out is how to get the old Bookmarks file to hook up to the Firefox on the new computer. I can easily move the files to the new C drive but I don't know what the file names are or how to tell Firefox to use them. All the best, Dick Phelps
