I had to update my OS on my mac but I had to wipe my whole computer and then install the new OS. I backed up all my documents, music, pictures, downloads, etc. But i didn't back up my library folder and I forgot about backing up all my bookmarks that I saved in firefox.

Is there any way to recover these bookmarks even after I wiped my computer?

Were you using Firefox sync with Fire fox account, if yes then the data will be available, just login and it will sync it back , If you aren't using it I am afraid there is no way to get it back.
