I reinstalled windows on the same PC
I am trying to recover my bookmarks and history on this same PC i just re installed windows but I am having trouble figuring out the login email and what not I was using. My main email is [edited] @msn.com I also have [edited] @gmail.com [edited] @yahoo.com [edited] @gmail.com and [edited] @gmail.com I have tried all these options and none have my bookmarks. I am pretty sure I had backup and sync enabled and just racking my brain trying to remember maybe what the icon looked like or something I can associate to sort out what I had on this PC. My kid was using one of the log ins on the other PC so didnt delete my bookmarks or keep our info separated. I even tried searching on my phone and im coming up with blanks. I should have checked or downloaded the file that helps u recover but im tired and this is driving me nuts please help

Unfortunately at this point no one here can help as you wiped clean your pc and didn't do any kinda backups for the Firefox data/bookmark/profile thus rendering no recovery at this point. And no one here has any access to anyone account since this is just a user help forum. At this point your data is gone and nothing more can be done.
Does your kid's PC still have the bookmarks and/or logins you want? If so, there may be a (slightly inefficient) way to transfer some local settings files to your new installation of Firefox. You may want to back up the following files from the profile folder:
- bookmarkbackups folder
- logins.json
- key4.db
To find those files: Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
Anything useful there?
You can check if you have the C:\Windows.old folder with your Firefox profile data.
