I got a new computer and loaded Firefox on it, but all my old Firefox favorites are gone. How do I get them back?

I used Firefox on my old machine w/ Windows 2000, and had over 100 favorites for websites. I copied my favorites files from the old computer and then copied it onto the new one which is Windows 7. I thought it would have all my current favorites, but apparently it just had those I used to use in Explorer on the old machine, before I switched to Firefox. How can I find or recover my Firefox favorites so I can use them on the new machine? THANKS in advance.
