Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

The System Details list shows you run an older Firefox 55 version that is no longer supported with security updates.
Please update to the current Firefox 64.0 release.

Did you look for backups in the bookmarkbackups folder?
