Firefox refreshed on me without warning. All bookmarks were lost. Also all saved passwords were lost too. Folder appeared on my desktop called "Old Firefox data." Not sure where to go from here. Very frustrating.

Chosen solution

Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File

That file may be there in the folder
