In order to improve security, I added accounts to an old XP install. I lost my bookmarks. Where are they?

Because the only way I can now run Firefox is in a new account based file structure, it can't find the old bookmark file. What the devil is the filename containing the bookmarks, so that I can move it into the appropriate directory?

With a new WinXP user logon account you get a new Firefox Profile. You need to transfer the contents of the older Profile folder into the new Profile in that new XP user account.
