My computer crashed but I was able to run a backup of my computer files to an external hard drive. Then I restored my computer to it's factory settings and had to reinstall Firefox. Now I'm going through my backup on the external hard drive and have found my pictures, internet explorer bookmarks, etc. but can't find my Firefox bookmarks. Where would they be located/what could I search for to find them?

I'm using Windows 7.
