Restoring bookmarks in firefox

I had to reinstall the OS on a different drive and had to reinstall firefox as well. Figured out a way to restore the bookmarks from the backup. This worked with firefox 3.5.2

1. Browse and navigate to the location in hard disk where windows is installed
2. Go to the location Then go to the following location C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
3. Inside the profiles folder there will be .default folder
4. Inside this directory there will be a bookmarksbackup folder
5. There will be a bunch of .JSON files stored as backups with the dates and times
6. You can replace your current bookmarks with a backup copy by opening the Firefox 3 ("Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore..." ). You can select one of the five dated backups that Firefox automatically creates or you can use the "Choose File..." option to select another bookmark backup file.
7. Choose the JSON file then restart firefox this will restore your bookmarks
