Location of Bookmarks

My old laptop just crashed for good. I was able to remove the hard drive and use a hard drive reader to see its contents. How would I locate Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks however? I tried doing a search for favicons.sqlite but this was unsuccessful.

That file stores favicon images and you should retrieve it if possible. The main file you want is places.sqlite. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
