The file you’re looking for is bookmarks.html. On my PC, it got placed by default in a subfolder of “c:\documents and settings”. If you cannot recover it from your old hard disk and if you have no backup copy, consider it gone forever.

What is “favorites” to IE is “bookmarks.html” to Firefox. All the bookmarks you imported from IE to Firefox and all bookmarks you subsequently added in Firefox are in bookmarks.html and, in the same folder, in bookmarks.bak and nowhere else, as far as I know.

Maestro is correct, it is called "bookmarks.html" and is located (normally) here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\o65b4oej.default
