Had to restore Windows, can I get old bookmarks from "Mozilla" folder copied before the restore?

I had to do a Windows System restore on my computer. I had to manually back up all my data files (thanks to my computer freezing when I tried to do the backup as part of system restore). I copied all items in my Program Files (x86) folder, including Mozilla.

Is there any way to recover my Firefox bookmarks? I had TONS of bookmarks in about 20 different folders. In the past (maybe 3 years ago), Firefox used to lose my bookmarks a lot so I've spent hours restoring, or starting all over again. This time, I am hoping I don't have to do all that - much more work since it's about 2.5 years worth of bookmarks! Argh!

Thank you.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't store user data, like bookmarks, in the program files folders. That data is stored in your Profile folder.
