Question by Katherine L: Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks: Is there another way to retrieve them besides exporting from the browser itself?
Because of a computer hiccup, my Windows XP is no longer work. Luckily I had a second operating system (Ubuntu), me, all my files, allowed except my Mozilla bookmarks. Can I have my entire hard drive (including Mozilla folder), but I can not open Mozilla on Ubuntu, I can not export bookmark files. Any suggestions?

Answer by Gzus
Should be a folder under documents and settings with your user name, under that, there should be a favorites folder. These files can be moved.

There’s a bookmarks.html folder in the following location
Documents and Settings username Appliaction Data Mozilla Firefox Profiles xxxxxxxxx.default
I spaced it out so it will all be visible and the xxxxxxxxx is just a random string of characters.
Yes if you right click on the bookmark and select properties it will tell you the location of the book mark on the hard drive. Sorry I just notice your windows is broke. The links are located in a folder called “favorites” which will be a subfolder off the user account that created the book mark.
Access the Windows C: (or whichever drive firefox is installed in) through Ubuntu.
Browse to C: –> Documents and Settings –>YourUsername –>Application Data –>Mozilla–>Firefox–>Profiles–>xxxxx
There will be a folder named “bookmarkbackups”
From there select the latest backup file. It will be a file with .json extension. Copy it to Ubuntu, then open Firefox and import the bookmarks.
You can use FEBE add-on
in future use foxmarks – free bookmarks synchronizer
