Waterfox stores bookmarks, passwords, extensions, and preferences in a profile folder. The program and the profile live apart, which is why uninstalling leaves your data behind. Profile folders have names like a1b2c3d4.default.
On Windows the profiles sit under %APPDATA%\Waterfox\Waterfox\Profiles, with profiles.ini one level up. The reliable way in is about:support. That page shows the true path for the running profile and opens it directly.

Frequently asked questions
how do i open my waterfox profile folder fast
Type about:support in the address bar and press Enter. The Profile Folder row shows the live path with an Open Folder button. That beats memorizing the AppData layout, especially with multiple profiles.
can i move my waterfox profile to a new pc
Close Waterfox, copy the profile folder plus profiles.ini one level up, then fix the Path lines if names changed. Waterfox keeps profiles separate from the program, so a reinstall alone leaves them alone.
