Where does Firefox store bookmarks?

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.

Solution:

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 DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles*.defaultplaces.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.
