There is actually an easy way for you to recover from such a catastrophe, but you only have a few days to act on it. In your Firefox profile there is a folder called bookmarkbackups, and in there you will see five days worth of bookmark backups. Ever since Firefox 1.5, the browser has created daily snapshots of your bookmarks in case anything ever happened to them, which can be imported back into Firefox to restore your bookmarks.
The first thing you need to do is located your Firefox profile folder:
Operating System Profile folder location(s)
Windows 95/98/Me
C:WindowsApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles
C:WindowsProfiles\Application DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles
Windows NT 4.x C:WinntProfiles\Application DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles
Windows 2000 and XP C:Documents and Settings\Application DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles
Windows Vista C:Users\AppDataRoamingMozillaFirefoxProfiles
Unix
~/.mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/
Mac OS X
~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/
Once you have found that, just look for the bookmarkbackups folder, which is pictured below. In it you should find at least 5 HTML files that are dated, each corresponding to a different day’s bookmark backup:
