Firefox 3 no longer uses bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks. It stores the bookmarks and the browser history in places.sqlite and no longer creates a HTML backup by default instead there are also JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
Check for backups in following path :
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<some folder>\bookmarkbackups
See Lost_Bookmarks (MozillaZine KB)
You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to a HTML file: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
You can also create a JSON backup: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
If migrating to new account , then just copy the latest JSON file to new account's bookmarkbackup folder and restore it in mozilla.
You should restore a JSON backup: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore-> Choose file
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks. You can merge bookmarks if you import a HTML backup.
A HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.
