  C:\ Documents and Settings \ [your profile] \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \ [random characters] \ bookmarks.html
  
  Grab that file and slap it in the same directory on the new system (random characters will be different, of course). You might also want to check out Foxmarks, a plugin that syncs your bookmarks between systems.

  Thanks Keebler, I just found the Mozilla folder in program files and copied it across to the external hard drive as I couldn't find it in application data.
  
  I'll have a look into Foxmarks, thanks.

  Or, you could just export your bookmarks into an htm file from firefox (Bookmarks > organize > file > export ), then import that file into the new copy.

  Or use a program called MozBackup which will export addons, themes, history, forms, and favorites into a single DB.

  Cheers Thrax, that seemed to work well.

  Hmm think I did it wrong, have a .LNG file but the MozBackup is asking for a .PCV file for restore.

  Mozbackup doesn't create LNG files, so I'm not quite sure what you did.

  Yeah... think I duffed up. Was in a rush when I was doing it and probably saved a random file from somewhere. Ah well.

  I find foxmarks to be a fairly excellent plugin for firefox which synchronizes your bookmarks with a copy kept online
