Accidentally refreshed Firefox on Win 11 and now lost all extensions, customizations and settings

Hi, I accidentally did a refresh on my Firefox (Win 11) and therefore I now have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop and Firefox is completely almost back to stock.

I have lost all extensions, customizations, settings and other configurations. Luckily, I had taken a backup of my bookmarks prior to doing this.

How do I return everything (including extensions) back to pre-refresh state?

Thank you.
