Check to see if you have this folder on your computer:
c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<your profile>\bookmarkbackups\
If yes, just restore the latest of those backups.
That would only recover bookmarks.
You said there is no 'old Firefox' on your desktop? Please make sure.

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar.
How many profiles are listed?
How many should be there?
Was this a regular update within Firefox Beta 57, or did this occur upgrading from Firefox Beta 56 to 57?
Have you restarted Windows since this problem occurred? Sometimes there are file lock/permissions issues that limit Firefox's access to its settings, so before struggling too long, I do recommend trying that.
