IS there a way to recover your bookmarks from the program files after an OS crash?
My computer won't boot but all of my files are intact. I want to recover my book marks on my new computer, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get back into the old operating system to create the export file.

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
