If didn't backup the location where Firefox stores your personal data in the Firefox profile folder and you have removed the partition where the Time Machine stores its data in case you were using it then I'm afraid that you are out of luck and have lost the bookmarks.
- /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
