Recover saved passwords after crash

A while ago, my browser refused to start. Apparently it got corrupted during an update and i had to de- and re-install. That worked but i lost all bookmarks and saved passwords. Now i lost access to my email account because I cannot for the life of me remember my password. Google recovery keeps sending the recovery code to the same emailadres that i dont have access to. Other recovery stept arent working.

Is there a way for me to find the old saved passwords from before the re-install? Please, i need access because so many accounts on other websites use that email address. Please help me i dont know what to do.

If this is the only install of Firefox you use and you uninstalled and cleared or deleted the folder any data created by Firefox will be wiped clean and there is no option to recover the bookmarks or passwords since Firefox was removed. And email lost password there's nothing anyone on here can do to help as well as this is only a user help and no one has access to your email. You should contact your email provider to help with your lost email account.
