How to restore a backup Firefox prefs and bookmark after a reinstall complete

My Mac HD software has been damaged and I have to do a full system reinstall. I have a complete backup using Time Machine and you want to restore all my bookmarks Firefox and prefs, especially all the names stored username and passwords. Where can I find the right files? I guess when I have the files, I just copy in the new software, right?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

    I was not able to complete the full implementation of the solution Dell Direct USB key due to various problems.  .    Dell ended up sending me a new Windows 7 HARD disk image.   I have now the laptop up and running again with Windows 7 and have various applications installed.   That's all pretty well.  But now how do I get my data files restored?   Basically, I want to connect the external drive to backup and complete step 19 of the solution, as described below.

    
    Here are the steps OS using the Dell USB key: 
    
    1. Boot from the Direct USB Key by tapping F12 at the Dell logo, then select the
    USB Memory Key option from the boot device menu. 
    
    2. Accept the Dell End User License Agreement (EULA) by clicking the box next to
    Accept, scroll down till the end of the license agreement and then click on
    continue. 
    
    3. On this screen, the usb key gives an overview of the process it is about to
    perform, click continue when ready to proceed. 
    
    4. The Smart Repair solution runs a surface scan on the system to identify any
    errors with the boot record or the startup files. If any errors are found, they
    are automatically corrected. 
    
    5. Once the process completes, there will be an analysis summary, in this case,
    there is no issue found by the smart repair, click continue. 
    
    6. In this window the user can select what data they would like to back up, they
    can either go with the default backup solution or they can click select more to
    select more files for backup, click continue after selecting files for backup. 
    
    7. If user clicks on select more, they will get the screen below, they can go
    ahead and select the necessary data for backup by checking the box next to the
    respective folder, sub-directories are selected by default once the root folder
    is selected. 
    
    8. The user will be prompted to attach a USB hard drive to the system, user
    needs to connect the USB Hard drive at this point and click continue. 
    
    9. Once the solution detects the USB hard drive , it goes ahead with file
    backup. 
    
    10. Once the files are backed up, the solution will back up the user personal
    settings. 
    
    11. The Direct USB Key displays a summary of the data and personal settings
    backup. Click continue. 
    
    12. The Direct USB key then proceeds to install the operating system image on
    the system. 
    
    13. Once the operating system image is transferred, the drivers are also
    transferred. 
    
    14. After the operating system image and driver transfer, a summary page comes
    up giving the user information as to what process was performed successfully and
    what failed. The user needs to remove the USB key at this point and click
    restart. 
    
    15. The system restarts and comes to a flash screen on recovery and restore. 
    
    16. After the flash screen, the applications start installing. 
    
    17. Once the applications are installed, the user would see a summary screen
    informing them that the Operating system has been restored, connect the Direct
    USB Key and click restart. 
    
    18. After the restart the user will be prompted to connect the data backup hard
    drive and then click continue. 
    
    19. The files and personal settings are then restored from the USB backup drive. 
    
    20. After the files are transferred the system comes to the desktop with a pop
    up window informing the user to check the device manager for any exclamation
    marks, the tool also guides the user to download the drivers from the support
    site and the applications from My Dell Downloads and Dell Digital Delivery. User
    needs to select the check box to prevent the message from being displayed again
    and click close.
