Trying to find and copy bookmarks from a defunct computer (drive mounted as external drive)
My old computer is dead. However the drive is still functional and I have it attached to the new computer as an external drive. Unfortunately I can't find where Firefox stores the bookmark list (alas it's not in the 'favorites' folder). I want to bring those bookmarks into the new Firefox.

What operating system and version was the old one, if you still need help after looking over
To find your profile on your current system use
- Help ("Alt+H") > Troubleshooting information > "Open Containing Folder" there is at least an .ini file above that folder.

I basically copied my users file to new computer for email and Firefox and a few other applications.
