My files disappeared, help me recover them please - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I uninstalled latest version of firefox because it didnt work well on my device, but after doing that, i noticed that all the files that i downloaded with firefox, disappeared from my phone.
But i never deleted them nor firefox has an option to delete all files when uninstalled.
Please, can you tell me the name of an application or software that will recover and restore the files that disappeared?
Thanks

Unless somehow backed up those files if actually deleted are not practically recoverable.

Unless you configured Firefox to store all downloads on external SD-card all downloads by default get stored in directory
/sdcard/Download
or
/storage/emulated/0/Download
what depends on how internal storage memory is mapped.

TitaniumBackup unable to restore

Recently did a factory reset of my Prime because I had gotten tired of the process.media.blabla error popping up, and also because I like to refresh my devices periodically anyway (a carryover habit from Windows).
However, when I went to restore my apps with the TiBu backup I had I don't see any apps in the "Restore" option. I have copies of backups on both the internal storage and external SD card and neither option have worked.
Important details are that I am rooted (backed up root via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper), USB Debugging is enabled, and Install from Unknown Sources is enabled.
Anyone have any experience with this? Or otherwise able to help me?

HELP! S2 - Restoring Contacts From Backup Of Phone's Internal Files?

I have a backup of my phone files (I connected my S2 to my PC and saved everything on the phone's internal memory). Is there any way to recover my contacts from this backup?
I could not see any obvious "contacts" folders for files
Here are the files in my backup:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The phone no longer works and I did not have it synced with my Gmail so cannot recover my contacts through gmail
Thanks for any help
Use kies and see whether they detect the previously backed up data

appreciate help and what i can actually move --- b/c the drive emulates - and i understand to the point it starts to not make any sense of why my external SD car is not figuring this out

Default platform.xml

I modified my platform file. now, I can't write on my external storage from my default explorer (I have file explorer pre-installed) . When I download other browser (such as root explorer) then without permission, I can write/delete..
I tried to revert back to original file but I guess I am doing something wrong (I just deleted the line I pasted). My camera isn't working but I can write on external.
I can't make camera and write sd card at the same time. I hope I explained enough.
Can anybody get me default platform file or tell me what's wrong with mine?

Unable to see android folder sizes or info from PC [Wirelessly]

Hi all,
I would like to be able to see more info about my storage from my PC via Wifi, so far I've had no luck.
I tried with
ES Explorer remote - Mount as a network drive
Airdroid
Airmore
MyPhoneExplorer
they only show the folder names - at most the date of creation, but no more info.
Is there a way to do that?

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The reason I want to be able to see folder sizes is because when I copy large amounts of folders and then it fails/cancels, I would like to know how much has been copied etc
The way I do that now is by copying again and replacing all files which takes some time.
If I were to see how much has been copied by seeing the folder sizes I could judge that better.
