How do I get my bookmarks back into Firefox after reinstalling?

I had to reinstall Windows 7 and I backed up all the files (copied them to a different drive). I reinstalled Firefox but can't figure out how to reload the bookmarks. I tried copying them to the same location as before (User/Favorites) but they don't appear. I have several hundred bookmarks! Because I didn't remember to go into Firefox and "Backup" the bookmarks specifically, I'm screwed!?
