CTRL-SHIFT-B to show all bookmarks. Then use Import and Backup to navigate to your old bookmarks and import them. If they were not exported from the old setup first in a .html format, they will be in a "places.sqlite" file rather than a bookmarks.html file. In that case use the restore option rather than the import option.
