Our firefox crashed and reopened without any of our fhistory, bookmarks, tabs, etc. Is there any way to retrieve this data. We are running firefox on a mac.

Did Firefox reset?

If that happened then you should see an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

For the bookmarks and the history you would need to copy the places.sqlite file to the current Firefox profile folder.

If you use the Time Machine then you can also try to restore these files from that backup.
