Dear Himanshu Kotecha,
I've seen this issue before, please see the quoted text below and see if it works:

ljzim saidI reset my computer, which meant reinstalling Windows 10, but I retained my personal settings and/or data.Did Windows create this folder:
C:\Windows.old
If so, try:
(1) Set Windows to show hidden files and folders: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files
(2) Explore up this path:
C:\Windows.old\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile.folder\bookmarkbackups
Do you find any recent files there? They could be restored using the Restore feature, but it will be easier if you copy one or two of the files to the desktop for quicker access.
See: Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
You'll use the "Choose File" option.
Please let me know if this works, or any of the steps are confusing, and I'll get back to you.
Many thanks for getting in touch, Isaac
