Is there any way to restore it without losing my passwords, settings, and especially favorite?

Recently my computer was infected by a malware that deleted some DLLs and damaged Firefox, Opera and Google programs.

The other two browsers I reinstalled without any problems. But Firefox is my primary browser and I'm afraid of losing all my information.

You can check if the Firefox Profile Folder is still present.

If that is the case then Firefox will automatically detect its presence and use it.

You should regularly make a backup of your personal data that is stored in the Firefox Profile Folder to prevent a potential loss in case of problems.
