Restoring open web pages from previous hard drive back up

I've had to replace a hard drive on a Mac computer running OSX. I had a large number of web pages open in Firefox on the previous drive, which I backed up completely before the new one was put in. I would like to restore these pages (similarly to the "restore previous session" function) perhaps using the Profile data from the application backed up on the previous drive.

Is there a data file or files that I can simply copy and paste over from the Firefox application contents on the previous hard drive which will allow me to to restore the session I had up before the hard drive was replaced when I start Firefox on the new computer? A solution to this would be much appreciated.
