Lost all of my bookmarks

I left the job today and had trouble resetting all the browsers except Safari. I manually deleted the bookmarks and forgot that xmarks would obliterate me at home.
There should be a way to restore them with Time Machine, but I'm not sure what file to restore.
Any suggestions? I have bookmarks accumulated for more than 10 years. This is more than a little bit of an inconvenience.

Have you tried looking here:
Macintosh HD/yourUsername/Library/Safari/B...

or here:
Retrieve the bookmark files from the ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/ and ~/Library/Safari/ folders on the backup, where ~ is your home folder on it.

That Safari thing worked the second time I tried. I was trying from a too recent version because I didn't notice it was after midnight. Duh.
You can also do it from Firefox: Tools > Xmarks > Xmarks Settings > Restore tab

Thanks for the help. You made me believe in a Utopian world.

10 years of bookmarking = 9/10 of the sites have changed hands, gone or...?
