Go to Start and open run. Type in %appdata% and enter, here go to the folder Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles, open the profile folder and you will find a folder called bookmarkbackups. In here are all the bookmark backup files Firefox created for you.

Give this a read as to how to use them.

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
