export passwords and bookmarks
I had to send my computer in. Before I did I downloaded file that saved ALL my Firefox passwords and bookmarks, and I opened both files to make sure they downloaded before wiping out my computer. I also opened a Firefox account to save the information but it demanded a cell phone which I don't have. Today as I'm reinstalling everything I see the two files I saved from Firefox are gone. Also my account does not have anything saved. I regret relying on password fill as now I will be locked out of ALL my accounts. Can anything be done?

What are the names of the files you saved? Where did you save them?

I'm not sure what files (or do you mean folders) you are referring to. Can you clarify this ?
current Firefox releases allow to export and import the logins in the Password Manager (Lockwise; about:logins).

For the bookmarks, did you create an HTML backup or JSON backup ?
