in your firefox profile folder, there will be a bookmarks.html file. there will be one or more files named bookmarks in the same folder, which are old backups of the bookmarks.html, the most recent being bookmarks.bak. rename the one you want bookmarks.html and start firefox.

In Windows perhaps in ur "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\bookmarkbackups\" u will find ur bookmarks
