If you have a recent-ish file -- the file names in the bookmarkbackups folder contain the creation date -- then you can apply it using the "Restore" feature. If Firefox doesn't list the files (likely, when they are in a backup), select Choose File... and point Firefox to the one you want to restore. See:

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

Success?
