If you didn't create a backup of your personal data (bookmarks) and you do not have a C:\Windows.old folder folder then I'm afraid that your bookmarks are lost for good.

hi, have you used firefox sync in the past? other than that your bookmarks stay solely on your harddisk and won't end up on mozilla's servers under any circumstance!
Greetings Mr. Philipp !!
I am GLAD u tried to help..
No Sir, i did NOT use Firefox "Sync" ever in the past.
So now, is it a game over? or i can still get those bookmarks somehow..?
Probably your bookmarks cant recovered.

Or you can check this too
Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
- Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
- Firefox 29 and above: Click the Bookmarks button
and select Show All Bookmarks.
- Previous Firefox versions: Click the Firefox button and click on Bookmarks. (If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Bookmarks button
or Bookmarks menu item and select Show All Bookmarks.)
- Firefox 29 and above: Click the Bookmarks button
- At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
- Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
- In the new window that appears, click OK.
- Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Respected sotos And cor-el
i am glad u helped.
dear sotos, i did check in the bookmarks "import and backup" menu. it does not show any dates in the restore menu.
i am realizing that my loss is not recoverable now.
dear cor-el since i formatted my c:/ drive, so there is no chance of C:\Windows.old folder. I may have such folder if i "upgrade" my windows to some later version.
thanks all of u guys for all the support.
