Hello,

Please follow the below thread. I hope it will solve your issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1282497

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
