Due to a computer hiccup, my Windows XP is no longer working. Fortunately, I had a secondary operating system (uBuntu) which allowed me to back up ALL my files, EXCEPT my Mozilla Bookmarks. I can access my entire hard drive (including Mozilla folders), but since I can’t open Mozilla from uBuntu, I can’t export the bookmark files. Any suggestions?

Should be a folder under documents and settings with your user name, under that, there should be a favorites folder. These files can be moved.

There’s a bookmarks.html folder in the following location
\Documents and Settings \ username \ Appliaction Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \ xxxxxxxxx.default
I spaced it out so it will all be visible and the xxxxxxxxx is just a random string of characters.

Yes if you right click on the bookmark and select properties it will tell you the location of the book mark on the hard drive. Sorry I just notice your windows is broke. The links are located in a folder called “favorites” which will be a subfolder off the user account that created the book mark.

Access the Windows C:\ (or whichever drive firefox is installed in) through Ubuntu.
Browse to C: –> Documents and Settings –>YourUsername –>Application Data –>Mozilla–>Firefox–>Profiles–>xxxxx
There will be a folder named "bookmarkbackups"
From there select the latest backup file. It will be a file with .json extension. Copy it to Ubuntu, then open Firefox and import the bookmarks.
