I'm trying to find my old profile data after my computer crashed and I was forced to do a Windows Refresh. There is no "old fireox data" folder on my desktop. All my data should be in the default place firefox puts it but it did not immediately show up again when I reinstalled firefox. Where is my old data?

Check the root directory and your user profile for a folder called; Old Windows or something like that.

Found it, there was a Windows.old folder on my my drive. Just had to go into users > my username > appdata > roaming > Mozilla and then copy.paste the profile data from there to the new windows appdata folder.
