If you saved the Firefox installation directory (default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ ) you will have lost your bookmarks.
Bookmarks and other user data are stored in the profile folder, on Windows XP this is normally found inside this folder - C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
If you have saved the profile folder, you can use the process in the recovering important data from an old profile article to copy the files to your current profile folder.
