Firefox Reset has disappeared my Zotero files

jbarth3
Hello, I recently ran into some problems with my Firefox browser. After browsing on their troubleshooting page, I decided to "reset" the browser. This solved the problem, but unfortunately I forgot to sync my Zotero docs before doing so (my last sync was in June)

When I restarted Firefox, the Zotero program was no longer there. I reinstalled Zotero onto the browser, but it's starting me from scratch.

I know I should have synced my files.. it was very foolish of me.. but still, these files must be SOMEWHERE on my hard drive, right? I didn't delete anything. Is there any way for me to recover the data?

Firefox automatically created a folder titled "Old Firefox Data." In that folder is another folder titled "zotero." Within that folder there are four folders titled locate; storage; styles; translators. Within those folders I can't really understand what I'm looking at.

Is there anything I can do? Is the data really lost?
