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]

Awsome, thanks.  
I knew that Firefox would have an easy way to do it.

You can also create a backup of your bookmarks and all your settings with MozBackup [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/](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.
