I've stored my bookmarks on my E:\ drive which is a raid drive for safety. I can't find out how to tell this new version of Firefox where they are (E:\Data Files\Bookmarks)

If I now have to keep them in a place you insist where do I have to move them to? Someplace on the C:\ drive even though it is not a Raid drive?

Thanks

You can import your bookmarks into Firefox if they are in bookmarks.html format. Or, restore them to Firefox if they're in the Firefox JSON bookmarksbackup format. If your bookmarks are in any other format, Firefox really can't do anything with them.

Firefox will only use the places.sqlite file for storing and displaying bookmarks in Firefox. That file can't be moved out of the Profile folder, but the entire Profile folder can be moved.
