How to retrive/copy favorites to my new operating system?

My computer crashed with XP as my operating system and the previous version of Firefox as my default browser. I now have Windows7 Basic loaded as my operating system. My hard drive has not been erased. How can I get my Firefox Favorites from when I was running XP and the previous version of Firefox to my new operating system. Thanks
