I've looked into as many links that you have provided but maybe I'm just stupid and can't figure it out. I was able to find my first profile. but the information to recover it is vague to me. The profile i want is: njy2wb8o.default-1385532040793... What is the best way I can get it back in layman's terms?

A profile with a number (date/time stamp) appended is created as the consequence of a reset.

Do you want to recover data from your previously used profile that has been moved to the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop or do you have more profiles present in the default location (AppData\Roaming)?

Which data do you want to recover?

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
