ok heres the thing, i uninstalled firefox and installed a new one without making a backing up because i kept getting this message Your "Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" thinking it will resolve the problem but it didnt so i realize had to delete the old profile and create a new one. my question is, how do i find the folders of my old firefox that contains all the bookmarks and passwords and transfer them to the new one?

Firefox comes in two or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And one folder in the profile of each user on the computer.

If you remove the Firefox folder, the user folders would not be affected.
