I would expect you could find, under ~/.mozilla.firefox, the second most
recent (random-string).default configuration directory (mine is
gosylbn0.default). If not, it should be recoverable from backups that
from following this list I believe you have.
Mozilla support lists might provide a better or more "authorized" way,
but I suspect the reset FF would restart if the line in
~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini that specifies the Default profile were
changed to specify the older profile. And I suspect your missing
passwords and maybe some other things, would then be available.
I think I actually have done that, but it would be a long time back and
I do not remember why.
