my old computer died, but I was able to recover my hard drive to another dish, however I do not know what to search for on that disk to get my old firefox profile which has all of my bookmarks etc.

Pmalito, by default Firefox on Windows stores profile folders in the following directory: C:\Users\<your Windows login username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
You may need to adjust this path to allow for the old hard drive not being drive C on your current computer.
You could also try to find your original profile folder by searching the old hard drive for certain files that a Firefox profile will often contain, such as "places.sqlite", "favicons.sqlite" "formhistory.sqlite" etc.
For more information on profile folders and their locations, see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
