Same thing happened to me (i thought it was something i had done) 2 months ago unless you have a backup of your system then I'm afraid you have probably lost them all permanently.
I tried various undelete programmes and also using the restore function but to no avail .
To this date i don't know what caused it so a repetition could occur again which is worrying.
I still had about 75% of my bookmarks as i had imported them from Explorer so i did't suffer a total loss.

Is there anything in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x.default\bookmarkbackups\

If not then a file restorer may be able to find something, I don't know any off hand but I'm sure someone will....

In future may I recommend the use of Google Browser Sync or Foxmarks. I obviously realise that is of no help to you now but something for the future, they store your bookmarks at a central server.

The same thing happened to my bookmarks a few weeks ago
