I have saved the hard drive from my dead computer and am looking for ways to transfer the Firefox bookmarks from the hard drive to my new computer. I just dont know where the profile files are located and where should I put them once found.

Pls read the following article:
Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.
Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.

The thing is, I can only access my old Firefox data via usb connecting to my old hard drive so I cant actually launch firefox to do the process you mentioned thank you
