My old PC crashed, how do I get all my bookmarks onto my new PC?

Does Firefox store all my bookmarks somewhere so that I can retrieve them onto my new PC? If not, I have a copy of most of my bookmarks in a folder in Windows Explorer, how do I import them, en mass, to my new bookmarks?

Thanks, but, unless I didn't read the hints correctly, your suggestion did not fit my situation -- my old PC is dead, I can't transfer anything from that physical equipment. I had hundreds of bookmarks on it that are not in my bookmarks on Firefox now. Is there a way to get those bookmarks back?

If not, I do have some bookmarks saved in folders in Windows Explorer, but when I try to import them, it seem to want to import one bookmark at a time instead of import all of them at once.

Thank you Mr. the-edmeister, that got what bookmarks I had copied years ago into Firefox; just wish I'd been more proactive in coping them!
