New updated deleted my session and I can't find previous session backup

Firefox Recover data

I'm using firefox in ubuntu. A couple of minutes ago Firefox crashed. I restarted to a completely new Firefox. All my tabs, extensions, saved passwords, etc. were gone. This happened to me a few weeks ago. That time I found a solution: find a back-up of the old profile and manually restore it. I tried to reproduce that solution this time, only to find that there are no back-ups at all of my previous session. Is there a solution to this problem?

Hi,

Do I understand correctly that the only folder in Firefox/Profiles is the one matching the fresh profile? No trace of other folders? No "Old Firefox data" on desktop?
