Zotero should automatically use and relocate a Zotero data directory from the Firefox profile.

But if you're not seeing your data, you should basically follow some variation of these instructions:

https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#restoring_your_zotero_library_from_a_backup1

or

https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/restore_after_firefox_reset (if you reset Firefox)
