Windows 10 has been reinstalled but my Firefox bookmarks have disappeared. How do I recover these bookmarks?

Hi Mark, what method did you use to reinstall it? The Windows "Refresh" or "Reset" should preserve your data in a folder named
C:\Windows.old
Can you find such a folder on your system?
If so:
Before proceeding, please set Windows to show you hidden files and folders: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files
Then check here:
C:\Windows.old\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
You might just have one profile folder, or you might have more than one. The bookmark backup files are in a folder named bookmarkbackups in each profile. The creation data and number of items is coded into the file name. You can copy promising files to the Desktop to try in a Restore.
Anything so far?
Thanks - I didn't reinstall it. I was having problems with the PC so it was taken away for repair. I think most things were wiped from the PC. The folder Windows.old is not there.
Contact the repair center and ask questions. If they wiped the drive . . . .
