The last time I used my laptop I put it to sleep instead of shutting it down. Haven't used it in about a week, and got it earlier and battery was dead. Plugged it up and started. Clicked on Firefox icon to go to homepage and everything was reset, all my bookmarks, etc.. were gone and not normal homepage. How do I retrieve this? I re downloaded my Lastpass and it works, but still don't have all of the many bookmarks I've saved over the years.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?
