Old FireFox data is on my desktop. No downloads there to open with Adobe. Ok, Where are my downloads to be find that I had prior to the uninstall and reinstall of Firefox?

Downloads live in where you downloaded them, so if you saved them to Downloads, they are there, Desktop, etc. Firefox doesn't store your downloads.

Thanks Tyler, however, I can't find them anywhere in any of the files  :(

You can copy the downloads.sqlite file from the Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop to the current Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
