My computer crashed and I had to reinstall windows 10. I copied my bookmarks back from the windows.old file, but I would like to do the same with my history files but can't seem to locate them. They did not come back with my bookmark files. Thanks for your help.

You may have seen a post or received a notification regarding support for Firefox or Thunderbird with a link to another site or a phone number being posted. This is a scam and is not a method to receive support from Mozilla. Mozilla does not have telephone or email support. Please do not click on the link and do not interact by calling any phone numbers or email addresses listed. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Did you use a compressed .jsonlz4 backup in the bookmarkbackups folder to restore the bookmarks ?

There is no special backup for the history.
The places.sqlite file stores both bookmarks and history and copying this file with Firefox closed to the current profile folder is the only way to get the history back.
If you already have created new bookmarks then you need to restore the bookmarks via a new JSON backup that you either create yourself before copying places.sqlite or you use a recent file in the bookmarkbackups folder.
