I saved all my Bookmarks into Firefox. Then I reformatted my computer. Now I am looking to get my favorite list back. How do I do that. I read that they are automatically stored somewhere. Please help me get my list back. It is very impurtant to me. Thanks.

That re-format would have wiped out Firefox entirely; you should have saved those bookmarks to some sort of external media device, such as a USB Flash stick or CDR.

Longshot if you were already using the New Sync there may be a method of recovering them.

Even less likely: if you used the Old Sync and had another device (Desktop computer etc) with similar bookmarks they could have been used to restore backups bookmarks.
