Can anyone please tell me where Firefox keeps its Bookmarks? I'm backing up
my pc and when I used MSIE I knew where the Favourites Folder was but don't
with Firefox.
 
Assuming Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random folder name>\Bookmarks.html

Take a look at this article.

Backing up your information
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information

Go to Start -> Run and enter the following in the Open box.

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Click OK.
You should see a folder named something like xxxxxxxx.default.
Open this folder and look for a folder named bookmarkbackups.
Your bookmarks should be stored in this folder.

If you have any question about Firefox, you might consider posting it to one of
their forums.

Good luck

Thank you both of you. I am running XP Media Centre Edition. My problem was
I didn't appear to have the relevant Application Data/Appdata folder as it
was a hidden folder on my system. I have now ticked the box to show hidden
folders in Folder Options & have found the file.

Thank you also for drawing my attention to the Mozilla Support Link & the
Mozilla Forum Forum
