Aparently Firefox uses SQLite databases to store all sorts of interesting stuff like :
Internet browsing history,Bookmarks,Settings,Downloads,Cookies,Form History etc.
Mr. Chris Cohen has written a very useful freeware tool that extracts data from these databases . The tool is called Firefox 3 Extractor or F3u and you can download it from here
The location of these databases , differ among operating systems and can be found at these locations :
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\{user id}\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{profile folder}\
Windows Vista
C:\Documents and Settings\{user id}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{profile folder}\
Linux/Solaris
{User dir - See /etc/passwd for the location}/.mozilla/firefox/{profile folder}/
Aparently f3u has lately started to extract *experimentaly* same information from chrome browser , even though i haven't quite tested it yet.
