I accidentally hit restore in my bookmarks library and deleted all my bookmarks
So we had to reset my laptop and I had to redownload all my apps, including firefox, which thinks this is a new computer. When I was trying to mess with my history to pull up some old tabs I lost, I accidentally hit the restore button in the import and backup section in the library tag, not realizing that it would delete ALL my bookmarks. I tried hitting Undue but it didn't help. Is there a way to get them back? I lost a lot...

If you haven't closed Firefox yet then try "Organize -> Undo" in the Bookmarks Manager (Library). If you have closed then try to restore an automatically created JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once. You also see this count in the Restore menu drop-down list.
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.

I don't think you actually read my issue, because I said I had already tried to undo it that way, and also that my laptop was reset. I don't have a backup, as my laptop, as previously stated, was reset.
There are different kinds of Windows resets. Some create this folder:
C:\Windows.old
with a backup of your old files under that path. More info in the following thread:
