Hi, My pc running Vista crashed - memory dump blue screen - total failure to reboot. I retrieved all the directories I had data in and the Firefox program directory from the hard drive. I want to see if I can now retrieve the bookmarks from this directory structure so that they can be brought back into my new version of Firefox. Is there a file or directory which holds the bookmark details? There is an install file with the following details: Installation Details 

 Install Dir: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
 Locale     : en-GB
 App Version: 3.0.10
 GRE Version: 1.9.0.10


My current version of Firefox is 6.0.2 Hope you can help I have hundreds of bookmarks which are very important to me. Kind Regards Mark
