I inadvertently uninstalled Firefox and now have lost all of my bookmarks, passwords, etc. Is there a way to restore all of the settings?

Note: Firefox comes in three or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.

If you remove the Firefox program folder, the user profiles would not be affected.


Note: If you did not remove the profile folders, you can recover the data.
