Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox bookmarks location for backup and recovery.

Lately, more and more computer users in the San Diego area have been asking me to either backup, transfer or restore their Chrome bookmarks.  They are buried in this location.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Also, something to mention is that when you configure many backup programs such as Mozy, this location is overlooked during backup.  Another one item missing is the Firefox bookmarks.  They are located in a folder location similar to this.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\llb7tn62.default\bookmarkbackups.

I have had the best luck with the JSON file in Firefox for moving bookmarks to and from a laptop computer.
