I'm wondering where it is for Windows 10.

There's barely anything in here:

C:\Users\Jeff415\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Is it somewhere in here?:

C:\Users\Jeff415\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7, and there is no C:\Users\username\ AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Desktop Background.bmp -- the path stops short after going into the Firefox portion of the path; all that's there are Profiles and Crash Reports folders.
