How to recover an old account sync after everything disappeared?

Firefox Betizing oer syngronisaasje en reservekopyen

My computer crashed and after restarting I have lost my account data including profiles, history, bookmarks, extensions, open tabs, etc.

I have tried the basic methods suggested online like looking for hidden profiles, finding a folder for old Firefox data on the desktop, restoring from apparent backups that are meant to be there, etc. The account should have been logged in all this time and had sync on, which is not working... but should there be some sort of sync history I can restore from? Or a local backup from somewhat recently?

Thank you

It looks like I can find the other profiles I had complete with extension data & bookmarks (in the Profiles directory in %appdata%)... but why is this not syncing across my account, and not accessible from within the platform itself?

Ok after freaking out I had to create a new profile via commands and point it to the folder directory of the old profile which just snapped everything back into place...
