Possible to get config from an existing install?

Hello,
Looking for help,
A couple of years ago, in the pre-covid times, I had set up 2 kiosk machines. Now the version of Firefox on them is toll old and needs to be updated.
I just have the Basic kiosk.
Is there a way to grab the existing config from the existing computers?
I tried to use a live boot distro to get to the internal drive, but no files show up except the boot files.
If I could just export it and then load it into a new install that would be great. I no longer have the old USB that was used during the initial installation a couple of years ago.
I remember it taking a while to get the web sites I wanted to be setup and working, so I don't want to have to go through figuring out the config again.
Please help.

Hello whoolly,

This is not possible as configuration is encrypted:
