Hello

I reinstalled windows 10 on my laptop with keeping my personal files intact. During the installation process Firefox was removed. After Windows was back I reinstalled Firefox and it works just fine except none of the old information, passwords, bookmarks etc are there and I tried just about everything to retrieve them but no luck. I tried to bring up profiles but only the new one was listed as default. What can I do? Thanks for your help.

If there was no physical USB backup or Online backup once a "reinstall" happens all that data is wipe clean and there is nothing more any users on here can help with this.
