What are all the files history can be stored in, in versions 1 and 2 of firefox?

Recently found my old laptop and needed to go through the firefox history. Unfortunately I cant access the browser directly (says connection to driver or network is unavailable when I try) so I cant tell you what the exact version it is, all I know is its a version that comes before places.sqlite, so Im assuming its 1 or 2.

So, I need to know every single file where history could be stored in these older versions. Can you help me out by providing a list for both?

Thanks ,

bookmarks.html and history.dat were used for bookmarks/history in Firefox 2 before being merged into places.sqlite in Firefox 3.
