Hi Ted,
This feels like it's changed a lot since I last looked but on Firefox 51, my bookmarks appear to be in a file called places.sqlite in a folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/RANDOMSTRING.default/. There are also some bookmark backup files in the subdirectory bookmarkbackups.
Hope that helps, Simon

However, one important item which I would like to plant on my working machine is the set of bookmarks (hierarchically organised) that I have built up over many years on the crashed machine's Mozilla/Firefos/Iceweasel browser. Presumably this lurks somewhere is a ".filename" in my home directory.
But I've not managed to sniff out such a file on my working machine (also Debian), so I wouldn't know where to look on the crashed machine.
Therefore, please, can anyone tell me where the file is likely to be, and what it's likely to be named?
