My hard drive died but I am able to reach the files on it; can recover myFirefox bookmarks?

Recently, my hard drive crashed but I have a lot of bookmarks I'd really like to keep. I have a hard drive enclosure that allows me to reach the files on that hard drive through another computer. I was hoping that I'd be able to rescue those book marks through this. I had Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6. Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you!!

I found that earlier but it isn't really helpful. Since I cannot "run" any files on the old hard drive I'm not sure how to utilize that link. There aren't any more direct directions you could give me? Maybe I missed it on that link and you could route me towards the right portion of that website. Thanks!

Go to your User folder then favorites (i.e. C:\Users\Rachel\Favorites) They should be in there...

you may want to try the del.ico.us add on too, it saves all of your bookmarks online to be used anywhere

Sorry, it's been awhile since I have read that article, looks like it is slightly different than I recall.

You need to locate your old Firefox Profile folder.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Finding_the_profile_folder
Start with the section titled - Navigating to the profile folder

You need the places.sqlite file. Copy that file from the old Profile folder into the new Profile folder, replacing the same named file that is in the new Profile folder.
