What do you mean lost firefox data? So was the data on their PC or where was it at?

If you still have the computer that has the data, you can use sync or a thumb drive to Copy the data to the new system.

no i don't the motherboard and power supply were fried in the storm

no i don't the motherboard and power supply were fried in the storm

Then nothing can be done here. If there was no sync was set then nothing can be saved. Unless you can get the same motherboard and PS and see if that restore the system otherwise you need to take this to a computer shop to figure how to restore the system back.

The motherboard holds the RAM. It's the hard drive that has the data. If the drive was not damaged, you might be able to recover the data.

i have a LOGIN.jSON file from the old firefox data from 2020 but i try to inmport it but firefox claims there is nno loginn info in there

logins.json and key3.db [v58+]key4.db : These are the password files. Copy Both !

logins.json and key3.db [v58+]key4.db : These are the password files. Copy Both !

where do i need to paste them

Look in the profile that you have for these files. They should have the same date/time. Copy them into the current profile with Firefox closed.
