I am trying to locate the Profile folder on windows 8 so I can bring my bookmarks and passwords over from an XP system and can't locate where mozilla put it.
your help page hasn't been updated for windows 8 yet. I need to know how to find the profiles folder on windows 8 so I can update it with the copy I have taken on my XP machine for the ultimate goal of transferring my bookmarks and passwords from 1 machine to another.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Windows 7+ versions are hidden folders.

If you have Firefox installed, use
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
to go straight to the currently active profile folder.
If you prefer not to access it that way, try pasting the following path --
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
-- into either of these:
- Windows Explorer path (if Windows Explorer still exists?!)
- Start menu search box (if you can find a Start menu?!)

Thank you to both cor-el and jscher2000.
the *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder part worked perfectly and once I turned on the view hidden folders (thanks again cor-el) I was able to copy the contents from the backed up profile into the new profile folder. Problem solved
