Firefox bookmarks

I'm moving over to my new computer at home. I want to move my Firefox book marks over to the new box.
Where does Firefox hide the bookmarks?
Thanks

The easiest method is to export them:

[ Bookmarks | Organize Bookmarks | File | Export ]

Once on your new computer with Firefox running:

[ Bookmarks | Organize Bookmarks | File | Export ]

Whoops! That last line should be:


[ Bookmarks | Organize Bookmarks | File | Import ]

You can also create a backup of your bookmarks and all your settings with MozBackup http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/. But the last time I checked, extensions are not guaranteed, so be prepared to reinstall them all on the new machine.
