I accidentally uninstalled both firefox and thunderbird during a clean up. I am now trying to reciver my previous hotmail and gmail emails. Having used Outlook and re set my email accounts it has synched and 'pulled' up emails from gmail back to August and Hotmail back a month.

Is there any way of recovering the older emails?

Re-install Thunderbird, add the accounts again.

We don't know if you were using POP or IMAP.

IMAP will show you any messages on the server.

POP would have stored messages on your computer. You could recover these by importing the mailbox files for the previous instance of the account, so long as your "clean up" didn't also remove the profile.

This add-on can help import old mailboxes:
