Hmmm... not really familiar with Firefox (not really familiar with I/e for that matter).
I do, however, have some google talent (well, I searched "firefox restore favorites"). Maybe one of these will help, if not, wait for one of our more administrative savvy members to login and see your question.
Restore Missing Bookmarks in Firefox 2.0
Quote:
Firefox keeps all bookmarks and extensions in the profile folder in Application Data (C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\).
In this case the installer isn’t exiting Firefox processes properly and not updating some of the old files. For Firefox versions 1.5 and above, it automatically create 5 most recent backups in bookmarkbackups folder, you can restore your bookmarks by either copying the bookmark backup to your profile folder or by importing bookmarks from the backup copy via the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

This tutorial guides you on the process to restore firefox’s bookmarks. It is important to act QUICK. If your bookmarks has been corrupted / broken for more than 5 days, your chances of recovering it is slimmer. I’m running on Windows XP. Therefore, some instructions or folders may be different if you’re running on a different operating system.
Firstly, startup the ‘Run‘ command (Start button –> Run). Type “%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox” into the box and click “OK” (as shown in Figure 1).

In Firefox, your bookmarks are held separately under your Profile folder as the file Bookmarks.html. There is nothing more frustrating than losing all your bookmarks, so regularly back them up by doing the following:
1. Go to the Bookmarks menu and select 'Organize Bookmarks'.
2. In the new Bookmarks Manager window which opens you can see all of your current bookmarks arranged under various folders. You can rearrange, rename or delete any of these just as you would using the Windows Explorer interface (i.e. drag and drop).
3. Once done, to back them all up select the File menu in this box and choose Export.
4. Select a directory where you wish to backup the Bookmarks.html file - this file contains all your current Firefox bookmarks for the active profile.
5. To restore these saved bookmarks at any time, select File>Import under the Bookmarks Manager, select 'From File' and point it to where your backed up Bookmarks.html file is stored.
Note that Firefox itself regularly backs up your Bookmarks to the \bookmarkbackups folder under your profile, in case you suddenly need to restore an earlier version of your bookmarks. You can import any of these backups using the instructions under Step 5 above.
