Your wallet file has the first 6 of its 8 sectors overwritten by some Firefox file, and not Recuva, which amounts to the first 24KB of the 30.6KB gone from your hard disk. It is highly likely the Berkeley DB table that holds the private keys was at the beginning of the file and therefore overwritten. Unless you have clones from before the time you installed Firefox, your odds of recovery are low. I'm not sure if even a recovery service can help you here since the sector data was overwritten.
