How to Find and Export Firefox bookmarks from an external HD removed from a crashed laptop to my current Firefox bookmarks file in a new computer.
I removed the HD from my laptop after it crashed from overheating. Got a desktop with Win10 and added Firefox like in my crashed computer. Have the HD attached to new desktop via usb but can't locate the Firefox bookmarks folder in the old drive. Need guidance and some idea of how to make the transfer to my new computer when I find the old bookmarks. Thanks much!

The places.sqlite file stores your History and Bookmarks.
You can copy this file to a new profile. If you can access the whole folder, you can copy the whole thing.

The places.sqlite file stores your History and Bookmarks.
You can copy this file to a new profile. If you can access the whole folder, you can copy the whole thing.
Note that you can copy files like these to the current Firefox profile folder to recover specific data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
- persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups
