Firefox bookmarks are not where they should be??
First of all, I'm running windows 7 pro 64bit, with the latest version of firefox installed.
This has got me stumped. In xp I had a program set to regularly backup my firefox profiles folder. The most important file in this folder was (and still is) bookmarks.html.
Since I moved to windows 7 I've had the following small problem (to save anybody wasting time telling me things I already know, I am aware of exporting bookmarks from the bookmarks menu, and I also know about mozbackup, but I like the mozilla profile backup to run along with all my other automated backups).
I have googled all over the place about this, and I know that bookmarks.html is meant to be in
C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"random_numbered_folder".default, but it is not.
There is an out of date bookmarks html folder in there (the entries are not what I currently have in firefox bookmarks). It's obviously not where firefox is getting the bookmarks from, as I shut down firefox, moved the file to desktop so that there was no bookmarks.html in the profiles folder, and restarted firefox.
When I restarted firefox all my bookmarks were there exactly as they should be.
I've searched the C drive to death but I cannot find out where the current bookmarks.html is.
Can anyone shed some light on this.
Many thanks for any replies.
