Close Firefox, locate your profile folder and delete/rename bookmarks.html.

You can delete your bookmark file to get rid of all your bookmarks. When you restart a fresh new file will be created.

Your bookmark file can be found in the path C:\Documents and Settings\<your>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>

Just be sure you want to delete them all because once you do this, they're gone. I would suggest copying out the file to somewhere else first then delete the file off your system.

Start Firefox in -safe-mode:
Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox : Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)
"Reset Bookmarks to firefox defaults"

The bookmarks are finally gone if they also drop of the five backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.
