Chosen solution

This folder is the installation folder.

First unhide files and folder:

Then access the old profile folder: "Old Drive":\Users\"username"\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles Click on the profile with “default” in the name to open it in a window.

In this folder you will find the bookmarks folder and the places.sqlite file
