Profile Recovery
After surfing the help article titled "Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data" , I still could not locate my profile.
My old computer was out of order and I could read the data of old hard disk, It was in Win XP 2005

Profile folder on XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
- Use %APPDATA% in the "File name" field or make sure that you see hidden folders
