My bookmarks from a previous computer are in a folder marked with a star called "favorites". How do I make a new Firefox install find them?

My computer died. I am rebuilding my stuff on a different old computer. I downloaded Firefox 3.6 to the new machine. I found my old favorites on the old drive in a folder with a yellow star icon called "favorites". I can see them all in that folder. I can move this folder anywhere. Where should it go? Is there another place to look for favorites or a backup of favorites? The old drive seems to be pretty much ok, so I can access whatever used to be there. The favorites folder location was C:/documents and settings/ed/favorites.

Those will not be the bookmarks from Firefox, the favorites folder is from IE. Firefox bookmarks are stored in a file called places.sqlite inside the profile folder. You can copy that file into our current profile folder. For details on the location of the profile folder and of other files you can recover see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

Interesting I should have IE bookmarks. I never used it. Anyway, thanks for the links. They eventually pointed me to the right location. I found the backups and restored the bookmarks. Life is good again.
