Default Where are Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks stored? Help!

We've just had a new PC built and I need my Mozilla Firefox bookmarks from the old hard drive (which is installed as a slave on this new machine) but I can't find them anywhere

Where are the little buggers hiding??

Select Bookmarks on top menu, then Manage bookmarks, then on the file menu select export.

Also keeps a backup in:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\boo kmarkbackups

Or install the Foxmarks extension and get them from anywhere and keep a server backup

Sal's given up and I'm about to!

I'm trying to sort my Outlook guff out. I was chatting to my mate at work and he showed me how to find the files by looking at where Outlook would export to. I've done this and it reckons, C/Docs and settings/Bob/local settingd/application data/microsoft/outlook/backup.pst I can't find anything beyond Bob, no local setting, nuffin, where are they?

Do I need to tweak summat to show these files? I've even searched the old drive for .pst, nothing!

For Firefox/Thunderbird/Other Mozilla software....

try MozBackup - makes backup of all data very easy (inc e-mail) and easy to switch between computers.
