Your bookmarks are located here:
My Computer/C/Documents and Settings/Account name/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default(unless another profile was created)/bookmarks.html or a Folder named bookmarkbackups/in that folder the past 5 days of bookmarks are saved
To back up your favorites I prefer to do this
With FireFox open
My Computer/C/Documents and Settings/Account name/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default(unless another profile was created)/bookmarks.html or a Folder named bookmarkbackups/in that folder the past 5 days of bookmarks are saved

Don't forget to check out all the terrific add-ons and get your favorite plug-ins on the Mozilla site for FF.

The nice thing about Firefox (and also Thunderbird) is that you can copy the entire contents of the profile folder to somewhere else, wipe the machine, re-install Firefox and copy your contents back to the new profile and keep all the add-ons, themes, favourites, history, settings, etc.

You also can get the version that installs on a thumb drive and carry FF where ever you go.
