My old laptop has died but the C: drive is fine and fully intact. If I put the old C: drive into a USB caddy, can I get the bookmarks off it to put on to my new laptop ?

Once you find that profile, look for the places.sqlite file. It contains your History and Bookmarks.

You can also recover the other data as well.

Most likely, yes. Firefox stores your data under a hidden folder, so set Windows to show hidden files and folders:

Then, if we assume your USB drive will be assigned drive E, then try:

E:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

The articles in the first reply above will help you identify valuable files there.
