Hi, first open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup >Restore, and see if you have a backup there.
If not, please see - Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
And Recovering important data from an old profile.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
You can check if you have a c:\Windows.old folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
