Hey Lucia,

It sounds like you reinstalled windows to the same hard drive right? If you did, then you probably wiped all the Firefox data. Would you happen to have another computer or device that you used to sign into Firefox?

You can check whether Windows has created a C:\Windows.old with your previous personal data.
