To explore, you'll first need to turn on viewing of hidden files and folders: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files
Did Windows create this folder:
C:\Windows.old
If so, look for
C:\Windows.old\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Assuming you find one or more folders there, one of them most likely will have your earlier Firefox data. Any luck? We can describe how best to rescue data from that temporary location (Windows will delete it after 30 days).
If that doesn't exist, try a global search of your "C" drive for bookmarkbackups which is a standard Firefox folder. Hopefully you'll find more than just your new one.
