Have you try to launch Firefox from the drive? If you can open firefox then go to : Firefox-> Bookmark -> Backup Then choose directory to store your bookmark backup, which extension is ".json" Copy it to your laptop or any flash drive & then go to Firefox -> Bookmark -> Restore the file, then you will get your bookmark back. Hope this will help!

See:

Note that the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
