Firefox stores backed up bookmarks in your profile folder, as long as your using version 1.5 or greater. here is the path

C:\Documents and Settings\ "user" \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ "profile folder".default
user = username
profile folder = alpha-numerically named folder

I don't use Vista, so I would do a search for Firefox profiles, then navigate to that folder. According to what I've read everything should be under \users\default
