I did a clean install of Windows and forgot to backup the Firefox profile folder since frankly I didn't know it existed. I forgot my Firefox password before I knew about the recovery key. I reset the password and then found out resetting it deletes the bookmarks for security reasons.

Now I'm wondering, is there any way the staff could find my old bookmarks? I'm still holding onto hope.

Thank you for response.

Hi

I am sorry, but we are not going to be able to recover that data.
