deletion of Firefox Android bookmarks
About 4 days ago I accidentally deleted my Firefox Android bookmarks by going into the Android KitKat 4.4.2 Application Manager and deleting all data. Bookmarks were not backed up nor were they Synced. While trying to recover said bookmarks I uninstalled then reinstalled FF 68.0.2. Has my device, Samsung Galaxy S3, just forgotten where the old bookmarks file is located in memory and not actively deleted them. What are the best options to get them back if it is possible? What step by step processes should I follow to recover them? I always have 7.5 or 8 GB of memory available and "clear". What are the name(s) of file(s) if I can search that I should be looking for? Will those hidden files, if there, now have altered names since I reinstalled FF? Thank you all for your assistance and expertise.

There is no way to recover your data in that case. The operating system has removed all data that Firefox had stored on your phone.
The OS just forgets the location of data when it "deletes" that data. It no longer indexes those files, kind of ignores them. As long as those memory locations are not overwritten recovery of the data is possible. Digital forensics to re-index and extract. There must be applications and programs, methods and techniques to achieve data recovery.
Hi
Attempting that would be extremely challenging for anyone to try and aside from being unlikely to succeed, could risk the security and stability of your device.
I do feel sorry for you and what has happened, but it is beyond the scope of this forum to even try to help recover that data.
