Hello, I recently faced a problem with both my operating systems (Windows and Ubuntu) and I decided to format the Hard Disk and before doing that I wanted to back up my data and especially my book marks which contains useful sites. I cannot access any of my operating systems so I am currently using the Live CD to do that but the problem that I am facing right now is that I cannot access the Mozilla fire fox folder on my Ubuntu distro to get my bookmarks and is shown in the following screen shot.

You have to open a terminal:
gksudo nautilus
Or open firefox and export the bookmarks to your home folder.

What exactly does the command do because I didn't experience any changes and please consider that I am currently booting from the Live CD and can't use the Ubuntu which is installed on my PC

since you are running from the live cd, your original hard disk with bookmarks and documents may not be visible to ubuntu unless you mount your existing hard drive.
