I am running XP SP3 and Mozilla 23.0.1 I want to save my Bookmarks and remove the mozilla I have now and reload a clean copy, than install the Bookmarks back. I would like the location on my hard drive. I think it is C:\Documents & Settings\Sue\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\6x4px2ey.default Let me know if this is the correct location or give me the correct location. Paul

Yes, it's that folder.

After that, please check the Recovering important data from an old profile post.

Yes, that is the default Profile folder, but check to make sure that is the Profile which Firefox is now using.
Help > Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Folder = Show Folder

places.sqlite is the file where bookmarks and browsing history is stored.

The \bookmarkbackups\ folder has 10 daily backups of your Firefox bookmarks (only), for the last 10 days that you have used Firefox.
