How do I get back my passwords after changing my operating system on laptop including the hard disk?

One option is Firefox Sync. However, that definitely is not 100% reliable, so you may want to also consider:
(A) Back up your currently active Firefox profile folder (and especially the logins.json and key4.db files)
See: Manually back up and restore Firefox profile data
(B) Export your saved logins to a CSV file
Note that this file is not secured in any way, so keep it in a safe location.
See: Export login data from Firefox and Import login and password data from a file
What is posted above is when you still have access to the old hard drive.
Do you mean that you already have a new hard drive, but didn't backup your personal data beforehand?
In that case is it likely that you lost your saved passwords.
