Firefox comes in two or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.

If you remove the Firefox folder, the user profiles would not be affected.

Are you having a problem?

i think i do have all the folders, and the user profile. so how do i recover my settings and logins from that folder

If all you did was to reinstall the browser, your original profile should still be there. Is there a problem?

sorry but it is not there. like you said i reinstalled the browser and there are no settings or favorites nor my logins.
