I think cor - el has covered you, but just in case:

You should be able to find your data under:

Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

If you do not see this folder, make sure that Windows is not it hide you. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

Here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

Overview

Here are the steps:

  1. Create a new Firefox profile
  2. Delete all of this profile folder
  3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

firefox.exe -P

Do not delete anything here.

Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

Click on the button to create a profile and ignore the possibility of changing the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • Menu help > troubleshooting information

In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

This folder open, switch to Firefox and the output. This will leave this profile open in Windows Explorer folder.

Copy old data instead of new

In this new profile folder, select all the content and delete.

Leave this window open, open or switch to your old profile under C:\Windows.old folder. If you found more than one profile folder, find the one with the timestamps more recently updated. When you are in the folder, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

Launch Firefox

Firefox should start in this new profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?
