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

that Steve Lamb is probably correct. But the information therein is in any
case useful for what we are after; thanks.
