So, my PC crashed; but I just found the old .json files for Firefox..anything else?

So, I had computer problems over the weekend, and, well, I got a new hardrive from the PC repair shop because I'd constantly get the blue-screen-of-death repeatedly for weeks, until my just wouldn't startup again on friday.

Anyways, the computer store owner who repaired my pc was nice enough to create a "windows old" folder which was copied over from my old hardrive, onto the new one. Now he did this so I could keep movies/music/pics/ect. But he advised me to sort through it in order to keep what I want (music/movies), and then delete everything else so I don't get a BSOD again. So, I just copied all the old vid/music and reinstalled all the old software (via Ninite). Now, here's where it gets interesting for me. I had reinstalled firefox, but all my old bookmarks were gone and lost forever (because I hadn't bothered to back them up in years) right? Well, that's what I thought at first. But then, after browsing through that "windows old" folder, I found my original .json files from just last week, before the crash, that apparently, firefox has to create in order to re-load your bookmarks everytime you open up firefox (I think). So, I imported one of the old .json files into my new firefox browser and *bam* it worked like a charm! Everything is back in firefox. Totally awesome! Especially for someone like me; who isnt really all that computer savy

So I'm just wondering. Since I have that entire "windows old" folder; what else can I restore from it? Like, that old .json file restored stuff; Is there anything else on my pc that can be restored? Cause I was told to delete it. See, I'm not even sure what to look for. I just don't want to delete it, until I know what might be useful to keep, you know? So, any ideas?

BTW - I never would have found the old firefox .json files if not for a totally helpful coincidence. In an unrelated problem, my new Firefox browser freezes for a short-second while scrolling down (it didn't previously). Like, if I'm on a full web page (like a forum with a full page of posts) the act of scrolling down is jittery and it'll freeze for a bit before reaching the bottom of the page. So, I googled for a way to fix this. One of the ways I heard was to delete Firefox's sessionstore*.js every time the freezes reappears. You do this by clicking on Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Open Containing Folder. Now, within that folder, I noticed the old .json files and imported them. Totally awesome coincidence (but it still gets jittery while scrolling down, lol).

Like, is there anyway to recover my old windows sticky notes?
