Can’t live without your own computer? You probably treat website bookmark list as an important thing to conserve besides other files in your computer like me. Usually, I store useful websites link in my Firefox bookmark list for future reading and I think it will be essential if we can bring the list to another computer that we will use.
There are few ways how we can store and recover our Firefox Bookmark in case something bad will happen like hard disk damage or we just want to use the bookmark list within internet browser in another computer. However, by using an utility called MozBackup, we can achieve that in few simple steps.
MozBackup is a simple utility for creating backups of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite, and Netscape profiles. With this software, we can backup and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, and even cache. What you need to do is just run the wizards, and finish! A guide in .pdf format is provided by developer for complete tutorial.

What if your bookmarks were deleted accidentally in a browser update? Is there anyway to recover those deleted bookmarks?
An answer would be appreciated! Thanks.

Same thing happened to me, almost had a heart attack.
Hopefully I can offer some help to others who get this page when trying to google a solution.
The following link was a big help

Restoring bookmarks from backup
NOTE:
firefox only saves bookmark backup files for the last 5 days, so get on this ASAP.

My question is different and this answer is different,
This could be a good solution for future use,
But now I require a tip or any software which helps me to recover my lost bookmarks,

Another easy way to restore and backup the bookmarks in firefox is to check in the folder
“C:\Documents and Settings\userxyz…\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\$ยง/(&4243.default\bookmarkbackups”
Hope it helps !

This doesn’t work in FF3. In fact, good luck finding your freaking bookmarks in FF3. I hate it. Back to version 2 for me.
Moz developers, put the crack pipe down and fix the bookmarks issue, eh?

This is how I recovered my bookmarks (windows xp…Firefox ) ….c:/ documents & settings/ owner / application data / Mozilla / Firefox / profiles / lr6xpprq.default / bookmarkbackups / bookmarks sorted by month
