which os? Win7 Bookmarks and Browsing History: The places.sqlite file contains all your Firefox bookmarks and the list of all the websites you’ve visited. For more information see Bookmarks.

They say you can find the places.sqlite file if you "run" %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles from start menu.

options to open it: 1. Check out: http://www.sqlite.org/2. open it with a JDBC (Java) based query tool and the SQLite JDBC driver. 3. You can try http://code.google.com/p/sqlite-manager/ which is a firefox extension. It can manage any sqlite database and gives shortcuts to the ones of your firefox profile including places.

They say you can find the places.sqlite file if you "run" %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles from start menu.
It should be personalized from user to user. Therefore you need to look for the specific user in the path C:users\(user name)\appdata\ roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles Remember to see this folder you need to enable viewing of hidden folders.

did you find the folder I referenced rbieze? That is where your profiles are stored. They are specific to users so if it wasnt for your profile then you need to look in whoevers profile you need. If they had private browsing turned on, then you will not find any previous browsing history. It deletes old data ever time you reopen the browser.
