The problem here is once you update you can't reverse it now. And since there was no screenshot of what or why it said what it said this makes it harder for anyone to know what it did during the update or what the update said. So when you updated did it give you options or not?

Something one should never do is skip important boxes to make sure you understand what's happening during updates.

During the update, did Firefox mention either a Refresh/Tuneup or creating a new profile?

If there was a Refresh, you would have an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop with fresh data. If it was a new profile, you can try switching back to the old one using the steps in the first section of the following article: Recover lost or missing Bookmarks.

this is only "restoring/recovering" 1 day back which is the update and does not give me any of my bookmarks

All of the other folders have files that go back no further than your current profile? That's not promising.

I am not sure what procedure you used. This --
