Lost Bookmarks and Passwords

Hi. I have used Firefox for years and had a well-organized set of bookmarks (over 100!) and al my associated passwords saved. I was using them just fine last week but when I launched my computer this week, all were gone. I noticed that a new version of Firefox was installed on the 14th and when I launched on the 15th, nothing was there. Instead, I got the yellow banded message that many users saw saying that bookmarks may not be available. I followed the instructions and tried following several methods to recover my bookmarks but nothing has worked. Can I revert back to a version where my bookmarks exist? This is confusing and aggravating beyond words because all these methods seem to offer slightly different approaches. In addition, the only backup folder I can locate is dated Oct 15th, AFTER the update that wiped out all my bookmarks.

Do you see additional profile in about:profiles?

Yes, I see two. I've tried following the steps to switch profiles but nothing occurs. Perhaps I'm not doing something correctly.

When I open the second profile, everything is dated from October 15th, not before.
