Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click about:profiles. Do you see another profile listed besides the one currently in use? If you 'Launch in new browser', do you see your normal setup? If so, go back to the profile list and set this profile as Default.

If your old profile is not in the default location, or TB has lost track of it, start Profile Manager, create a new profile, and browse to the profile folder that contains your previous data.
