Is my Firefox profile information stored on the Net? I deleted it in a system restore and need to retrieve my Zotero library.

I was wondering whether Firefox profile information is stored on a server. I use Windows Vista and recently did a system restore, wiping my hard drive after backing up my documents. Unfortunately I didn't realise that my Zotero library and notes were all stored inside the Firefox profile folder, which seems to have been deleted with everything else. Would any of my information have been stored on a server anywhere?

It is not. For future reference see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information#Backing_up_your_profile

By default, your profile is stored in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Appdata by default is a hidden folder. You can show it by going to Organize | Folder and search options | View tab | Show hidden files, folders, and drives
