How can I copy all of my Bookmarks from a hard drive which crashed, and is no longer bootable? While I can no longer boot from the drive, I can still access all of my files using another computer, and attaching the un-bootable drive with an external docking device. Is there a file where the bookmarks exist on my old drive; that I can copy and paste to the new Firefox I will be loading? If yes; will I have to do this to a new setup on my old computer first, or can I just do this onto the new computer I'm getting ready to purchase? I was running the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 Pro. My old computer was running Windows 7 Pro. The new computer I will soon be purchasing will have an i9 processor, and will be running Windows 11. I am currently using a computer at my local library to send this message. So whatever computer information is automatically furnished to you will not pertain to my computer. PLEASE HELP

You want the files places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite plus the folder bookmarkbackups and its contents.
