Can't import passwords and settings from windows drive installation to Ubuntu?

Asked by c_starchaser

I've just installed Ubuntu and Firefox 3.0. My XP disk drive is mounted as Win, and I can browse to Application Data/yada yada/profiles; but in Firefox, when I go to File -> Import, it tells me that no installations can be found that contain bookmarks, settings and passwords; and there's no file browser to show to Firefox where to go get them.
I think there should be a way to import settings from another drive; not just "installed" browsers. In the meantime, I'd just be happy to know what files to copy where, to get my bookmarks, passwords and everything.
