My previous computer crashed and I had to buy a new computer. I have loaded the latest Firefox into my new computer, but how, if possible, can I retrieve my bookmarks that have been lost onto my new computer?

I had a about 50-60 bookmarks on my previous computer using Firefox. My old computer hard drive and power crashed so I purchased a new computer. So all my bookmarks are lost when I downloaded Firefox on my new computer. Is there anyway I can get those bookmarks on my new computer

If you backed them up to a JSON file at some point (via Bookmarks->Show All Bookmarks->Backup and Import), then yes. Sadly, I was also recently in the same boat as you (had to reinstall OS, lost 100+ bookmarks) :( IMHO, this is currently one of Firefox's shortcomings.

Shortcoming? Although it isn't meant to be a form of backing up data, Firefox Sync is handy when a PC bites the dust.
