Windows 7 does not let me acccess the Mozilla folder to back up my Firefox Bookmarks - how do I get to these bookmarks?
I used to go into my application data folder in windows explorer to get to my Firefox bookmarks so that I can back them up. In Windows 7 access to this folder is denied. I looked in the users folder and in program files as well. I can't find my Mozilla files anywhere. I know you can backup your bookmarks directly from Firefox but I don't know what a json file is and I'm more comfortable with having a readable (i.e. open-able) bookmarks file. How do I get to my bookmarks in Windows 7?

First make sure that you have set Windows to show hidden files - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files
If you are still getting access denied messages, this link should help - http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/windows-7-access-denied-permission-ownership/
For info, you want a readable bookmarks file, but the bookmarks file used by Firefox (places.sqlite) is not readable in a text editor, it is an sqlite database file. It is located inside the profile folder - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
