show bookmarks in ubuntu
I was using Firefox in Windows Vista, and had a few hundred bookmarks.. I am now using ubuntu on the same computer, so can access files on the drives. I can use Firefox in ubuntu, but the bookmarks are no longer there. How do I get the bookmarks I could see in Vista to appear in ubuntu?
Incidentally, Thunderbird has "come across" perfectly.

You can use Sync or copy the bookmarks from the Windows Firefox profile folder to the Ubuntu profile folder. It is not advised to share a profile between different OS.

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 and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for Permissions and Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups
