I had a HD crash; when I restored my backups, my Firefox bookmarks and saved passwords were gone. I think they are somewhere; any way to find them?

After the crash I reinstalled my applications including Firefox 18. I restored my data files from backup, and I think all my bookmarks got placed in my Favorites folder. I also think Norton 360 backed up my saved passwords. Can anyone tell me how to get my bookmarks to where they will get recognized by Firefox and how to restore the passwords? I'm pretty sure I was using Firefox 17 at the time.

Thanks!
