Firefox keeps your bookmarks in a .html-file. You can find it at this location:
(hard drive) :\Documents and Settings\ (name of the user) \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ (name of the profile) bookmarks.html
You can copy it to your documents, and then import it via the regular way in Firefox (via the Bookmarks of course).
Bookmarks are no longer stored in an html file. Instead, they are stored in a file called places.sqlite in your Profile folder.
- Locate the places.sqlite file in your old hard drive.
- Copy it into the Profile folder of your new hard drive.
- Note that since you would be overwriting the places.sqlite in your new drive, your current bookmarks/history etc would be overwritten by the ones in the old drive.
For more information, see these articles: Recovering important data from an old profile and places.sqlite
