I used task manager to close firefox because it wasn't responding, and now my profile is gone.

I have been using the same firefox account for six years, and when the update that added user profiles came out, I successfully transferred all of my information to a profile. Well, today my firefox wasn't responding, so I used task manager to close it and restarted my computer. When I opened firefox again, it prompted me to select or create a profile to continue browsing. Crucially, it did not list the profile I had been using as an option, so I created a throwaway profile so look up what was going on and how to fix it. I tried logging into my mozilla account; no record of my previous browsing data, bookmarks, or extensions. I tried following the steps in the "Restore bookmarks, passwords and data from an old Firefox profile" article from Mozilla Support, but my old profile no longer appears in the profiles folder on my computer. I'm worried that if I keep messing around trying to restore my old data, I'll do some irreparable damage and never be able to get it back. Is there anything I can do in this situation?
