thanks Dotan. this seems to be the one:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

Indeed, this (as just one example) states explicitly that in FF2 bookmarks
and browsing history were stored in different files, in FF3 they are in same
file. I consider this to be a bad design decision, and just another evidence
that Steve Lamb is probably correct. But the information therein is in any
case useful for what we are after; thanks.
