Hard disk crashed, restored data from tape backup, Firefox not showing bookmarks. What is the location of bookmarks & favourites to ensure I have restored the correct file?

Hard disk crashed (XP), restored files from tape backup using Retrospect onto new Windows 7 laptop. Started up Mozilla after restore but bookmarks and favourites are missing.

I still have access to the backup tape and files. I was wondering whether the bookmarks are kept anywhere special other than the Mozilla program file that I restored.
