Thanks for all the posts and I also checked what is posted on Firefox site but none of it has worked.. So far anyways..

1.. May be I was not clear in my original post but basically what happened was my old computer gave up, motherboard gone bad.. Hard drive was fine so I took it out, put it in a cover and the content are now accessible thru USB drive (:E) from my laptop and that is where I have been trying to find the old bookmarks..

2. I thought of running Firefox out of E drive and when I do that it still runs the version from C: on the laptop although the icon I am clicking on clearly shows E:\ as the Firefox shortcut.. I guess the shortcut eventually executes on C:\ embedded in path some where..

3. All the other options thru import/export or Bookmarks manager etc. does not help and are surprisingly limited and cannot find where the these are buried.. Doing search as per various paths mentioned on Firefox site as well as here has failed to turn up anything so far..

My only choice if nothing works would be to look at a year old favourite folder that was saved on E: drive from IE which is kind of dumb since 90% of everything I do is on Firefox but I guess better then nothing.. I can probably find 60% of what I had on Firefox.. Just goes to show you why you should on a weekly basis export your Bookmarks and save them some where..

I was very lucky that it was only the 5 year old motherboard that got toasted.. Imagine if it was the hard drive which reminds me to back up E: some where since it also is now 5 year old..
