Operating system crashed. Had to reinstall OS. Are our bookmarks saved anywhere with Firefox or our online back up system, Carbonite, to "download" ??

Operating System crashed and had to reinstall. Our family had many bookmarks saved. Does Firefox maintain a list of a user's bookmarks to "reinstall" or "download" in these cases??

Were you using Firefox Sync?

Did you have Carbonite set up to backup Firefox data?
You would need to have saved places.sqlite or the bookmarks-yyyy-mm-dd.json file from the Firefox Profile folder.
