I made the mistake clearing cookies not realizing it would delete an username that I use for my login for my new youtube account. I forgot to write it down because it was an email address I created 8 months ago. I can not remember what it was log under. I remember my passcode but not the email address. It was never visible when I logged on it just showed my picture and prompted me to enter my pass code. Now I can not figure out how to restore my cookies to get back my youtube account and there is no one at youtube that will help me they do not answer the phones or emails for this matter. Can anyone advice how to restore the cookies I accidently deleted? I have tried all recovery methods to try to figure out the email and nothing has worked. Please help Thanks

The only thing that Firefox backs up is the bookmarks. Nothing else. So unless you saved the profile . . . . .
