Firefox 80+ has a logins-backup.json file in the profile folder that can be used in case of issues with logins.json or to undo an accidental delete of a login, so you can check if you can find this file in the profile folder or in a backup.

You can look at a utility to browse System Restore points to see if you can locate older copies of matching logins.json and key4.db files.
