Firefox deleted a bunch of my stuff and I want to know why

Firefox deleted a bunch of my stuff- customization, bookmarks, settings, add ons and most importantly history and cookies, annihilating my browser game save which I had for over a year.

It did so without my knowledge or permission, and I want to know why that happened, and why can't I recover the most important stuff- my history and save from the game.

I copy and pasted all the files inside "old firefox data" folder and it brought back my bookmarks and add ons, but it did not recover my settings and history.

Putting everything back to how it should be will take me ages, and I won't be able to find some important websites I usually would access by history.

So, can someone tell me, why firefox just did that without my permission or even knowledge? And if there is a way to bring my stuff back, because I'm really not in the mood of setting up the whole browser after I've already done so when I decided to switch to it.

Thank you for any help.
