Lost Library after Firefox reset - HELP

After my partner downloaded bad (malware) software, I reset Firefox to clear the effects of the malware.
With the Firefox reset, I lost my Zotero library.

I am using a Mac and need a "Zotero for Dummies" explanation of:
1- where/how to find my old information
2- how to resotre this old library into my new Firefox/Zotero profile.

ANY and ALL easy to understand help would be appreciated. (I have seen similar issues within this forum... but I do not understand the technical description of how to salvage my lost information.)
  • There should be an "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop. Inside it you will find a "zotero" folder. Use that folder as your backup data directory and follow the instructions here
  • (and if that isn't clear, the more specific you can be with any questions you have, the better).
