Firefox stores your settings in a 'profile', and it doesn't automatically overwrite this when you reinstall. So there is a chance that your old settings and favourites are still around. The page in the link above describes how you can find your profiles folder, and also how you can restore an old profile to your Firefox installation.
Thank you for your time
Unfortunately there is no profile remaining, might be CCleaner cleaned it out.
Blue sky Thinker Thank you, I found the Import function in Managing Bookmarks and brought over all my IE faves
Still strange that Firefox behaved as it did though.
