I started the laptop this morning then i found a new folder on desktop named" Old Firefox data" , all that info so easy just to grab , then I wonder Why for whatever resaon should that folder end up on desktop, also why do i have to wait 5 min. to upload a 599kb jpeg from PrtSc.

hello SuperMario73, if you choose to refresh firefox, a backup copy of your profile will be placed on the desktop in the folder you have mentioned.
