`find / -name bookmarks.html` will do that for you.

Look for xterm, aterm, or the like - it will give you a terminal window.

~/.firefox or ~/.mozilla are the most likely locations.

I usually recommend using at least separate / (root), /home, /var and /usr

`man find`
`man locate`

`man apt-get`

`man apt-get` again :-)

Start with finding it - regardless of GUI, only CLI gives you full control over
your system.
