Where in the firefox folder are the bookmarks?

I am just moving some bits over from my previous drive and forgot to export the bookmarks from firefox before I finished with it.

I am now on a new boot drive in a new pc so can't do the usual thing of exporting the bookmarks to a file.

I have connected the old drive up as a secondary drive and am browsing through the firefox folder in program files, but can see no mention of bookmarks.

Anyone have an idea where it is?

It isn't in Program Files because that's very bad practice.

Should be bookmarks.html.

Not in FF3 - it uses a new database format. The easiest thing is to export as HTML when using FF3.

I guess I should've said, your bookmarks and history are inside places.sqlite. The rest of your settings are piled up in your profile as well though - extensions, bookmarks, history, settings etc.
