I accidentally deleted the default profile while try to delete a username for a website, which was memorized by Firefox. On a Mac OSX, where do I find the bookmarks file that was in use before deleting the default profile. I have to restore the bookmarks or at the minimum, gat a list of those with their url so that I can make new.

Thanks cor-el. I had read the two. I am not able to find the profile from which I want to recover/restore/import the book marks. Can you help find the location? The current profile (which was the accidental creation) and its back up are in findable but the lost information will have to be added to it. help is gratefully appreciated.

You are on Mac OS X 10.4, so you do not have the Time Machine that more recent versions have. If you did remove the entire Firefox Profile Folder and do not have a backup of that folder then all your personal data including the bookmarks is gone.
