Based on your question, you may have copied the wrong files.

If you copied the Mozilla Firefox folder from program files you will not be able to get your bookmarks back, the bookmarks are stored in a different location. You appear to have copied the installation folder, the bookmarks are stored in the profile folder.

If you did copy the profile folder, for details of what to copy to the new profile folder, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
