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

If you are running Firefox 78 ESR and Firefox 89 side-by-side, you could use Sync to share your data across. Otherwise, I doubt the Firefox 89 file formats are backwards compatible all the way to Firefox 78.
