All previous answers appear to be out of date, so, uere goes! My computer crashed while Tor was open, and it broke. I have re-installed Tor, searched the wreckage of the broken original but could not find a file which referred to bookmarks. Can I use my new installation to import the missing bookmarks? Or, can you tell me where the bookmarks were stored in the original browser¿ Thanking you in advance, John.

You don't say which operating system, so here is the answer for Linux. Hopefully it will be somewhat similar to what you are using

tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/bookmarks.html

You can import it via the bookmarks menu ctrl-shift-o.
