First unhide hidden folders by going to view>folder options (in windows explorer)

Then go to C:/documents and settings/<your logon username>/application data/mozilla/firefox.

The profiles can be found there. There's a configuration document as well. OPen that with notepad and change the "1" to a "0" next to "start with last profile". it should mean that when you open firefox next it asks you to select a profile

Ok found where the bookmarks are and this does work:

In firefox go to bookmarks>manage bookmarks. Then file>import. Select import from file. Go to the same place I said before (documents and settings etc. etc.) then look in the profiles folder. In one of the profiles there should be a bookmarks.html file. Select it and import.

Job done
