Firefox provides an official way to export and import hence copy bookmarks from one machine to other. Now suppose your bookmarks got overwritten accidentally so what you do.
To save yourself, firefox backs up your bookmarks at regular intervals. Although it does not provide a GUI to restore old bookmarks but they are saved.
To do so: go to c:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\your_profile. There you will see a bookmarks.html file which is you current set of bookmarks. You will also see a "bookmarkbackups" folder wherein you have your backups. To restore, just copy the bookmark backup to the profile folder and restart your firefox and you are done.
