How can I transfer all my bookmarks from my old firefox browswer bookmarks using Windows Vista onto my new Windows 7 desktop?

Question

I just purchased Windows 7 OS and replaced Windows Vista on my desktop PC.
When I open a new firefox browser, none of my bookmarks from the older browser running under Vista is showing anymore.
Can I still transfer all my old bookmarks fromVista onto a new browswer using Windows 7 then?

Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.

Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile.
