If you deleted the shortcut, that anyway didn't uninstall the program.
It's still there. Search for firefox.exe in the search bar or go C:\Program\Files\Mozilla or C:\Program\Files (X86)\Mozilla.
Within the folder, you'll find Firefox executable (firefox.exe), simply launch it by double-clicking it.

So first, is Firefox actually installed? As mattcamp mentioned, you can search under the Program Files path. Depending on your Firefox version:
32-bit Firefox, under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
64-bit Firefox, under:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Can you find either of those? If not, or if the firefox.exe program file in the folder is missing or doesn't work correctly, you may need to reinstall Firefox.
Note: Don't use any third party uninstallers or removers as those may remove all your Firefox data.
If you can start Firefox, great. But the lack of data obviously is a problem. Could you check one of my posts in another thread for steps to try to track it down: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1170542#answer-994423
