Hello all, Today I installed Nightly and used it for some time, but I decided to uninstall it because add-ons I use are not compatible with it.. When uninstalling I checked Remove all my personal data box.. Then I opened Firefox again (it was installed the whole time I used Nightly, I didn't uninstalled Firefox at any point) and I realized that all my bookmarks, saved passwords, etc. are gone.. I had some really important stuff in there, is there any way I restore them? And it is URGENT, some of my uni stuff depends on that, and due is tomorrow morning.. Thanks in advance..

If you select the box to remove personal data while uninstalling Firefox then all Firefox profiles will be removed and that includes Firefox profiles created by other Firefox versions. So you need to be very careful with selecting that option or you lose everything unless you have a backup.
