Lost Firefox login password

My computer suffered a Ransomeware attack and all programs/files are encrypted and disabled. I need to recover all stored Firefox log in and password info but don't know my personal Firefox login password on the affected Firefox account to enable Sync. From what I read, if I reset the password, I'll lose the info. I also don't have an account recovery key. Please help.

Check your Firefox profile folder: Your Firefox profile folder contains all your Firefox data, including stored login and password information.
