Does anyone know where Firefox is keeping the details about the bookmarks? For example, when I'm browsing the net and I see an interesting page but I don't have time to read it in that moment, I drag&drop it in bookmarks toolbar.

How does Firefox know which those pages are? I'm not talking about right_click->properties. I wish to know where on my HDD those links are kept.

Actually, Firefox stores your bookmarks in a file called "places.sqlite" in the profile folder. The full path for that file is:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default\places.sqlite

If you double click on "bookmarks.html" which UK has pointed, you cannot see your recorded bookmarks in it. You can use Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup to export your bookmarks into json or html formats.

If I am not wrong , Firefox stores it in 

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\bookmarks.html
