If for instance you reformatted the hard dive and reinstalled the Windows 8 Operating System then unless you had a backup disk image or specific backups elsewhere of Firefox data then you will have lost your bookmarks.
It depends rather on what you did when you refreshed the computer and reinstalled Firefox.
Firefox itself tries to keep bookmark backups, and WIndows tried to keep some previous versions of files.
Please try to give more detailed information about what you did.
Immediately backingup your Firefox profile may help to preserve some of those bookmarks and backups so you should do that. Then post back and explain what you did when refreshing the computer. Try use the same jargon as was in the instructions you followed, for instance did you reformat the hard disk drive?
For future reference it may be useful to make and keep occasional manual backups of Firefox bookmarks
Do you use Firefox Sync ?
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
