See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
You need to locate the Firefox profile folder on that drive and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders" You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files
Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\ XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
