Can I restore my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar by copying files?

My computer crashed, and I updated to Windows 7. My old files were backed up. I downloaded Firefox, and I would like to get my old bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. Can I do that by copying/replacing files?

For details of how to do that see Restore bookmarks, passwords and data from an old Firefox profile.

You may need to set up Windows to show hidden files in order to view the profile folder (location where Firefox stores user data). For details on how to do that see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html
