Show hidden files and folders, then navigate here to find your profile folder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder
In the Profile folder, you will find a folder named bookmarkbackups. Recover your bookmarks from there. The numbers are actually the date. If you have bookmarked any sites before you lost your bookmarks, you will lose these sites. All old bookmarks made before you lost your bookmarks are recoverable.
Copy out the bookmarks and save them somewhere. They will save your life later.
Next...
Close Firefox.
Go to Start > Run and type in firefox -p
Follow the instructions to create a new profile.
After creating a new profile, import the bookmarks back to Firefox (Open Firefox, click on Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > File > Import)
