Hi, first open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup >Restore, and see if you have a backup there.

If not, please see - Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

And Recover important data from an old profile.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

You can check if you have a c:\Windows.old folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
