My windows install in my dualboot pc is unable to open at the moment, I can access the windows files from my linux. But i need the firefox data on that pc that I kept. I don't remember which email I used on that account so I'm kind of stuck on getting my data from online. Is there a way to recieve all the data from another drive without opening firefox?

Well, on Windows, the profile is generally stored in the following location:

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(some letters and numbers).default-release
