I want to retrieve my bookmarks from the backup of a dead computer; what is the filename I need to restore?

My old laptop died. I have the latest backup and want to retrieve my bookmarks onto the new computer. I have restored c:\program files\mozilla firefox but they aren't there. Is there a file in another folder I need to restore?

The old computer ran Vista HP, the new one is Win7 HP. I restored into c:\program files (x86). I have to restore selectively to avoid trashing OS files.
