Hi friend.
You should make any file whare you can store the website address...this is simple way to save your bookmarks

Go to the menu Bookmarks - Bookmark Management and use the Export and Backup option to export the bookmarks. Save the exported file on a flash stick or something.
You can also do it manually if something goes wrong. In Windows computers the Firefox bookmark file is located in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[SomeProfileName]\bookmarks.html
1) You have to enable viewing hidden files and folders to reach this file
2) [username] is the Windows user whose bookmarks you want to retrieve, and [SomeProfileName] is a profile name that Firefox creates, usually there's only one.
You can copy that file to a flash stick or something and restore once the system and Firefox have been reinstalled.
