I updated firefox. Now when I open a new tab, instead of seeing my fast dial thumbs (with hundreds of organized websites that I have accumulated over the years), I get a blank fast dial page. I have the old Firefox sync key (26 characters with 5 hyphens) but cannot figure out how to use it to get my fast dial info back. All the websites are not in my bookmarks either. Apparently they were just saved in fast dial.

You will need to contact fast dial's developer, as they can help you transfer the data. https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial/

BTW, you need to update to the new Firefox Sync, the old one, using the key, is deprecated. Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more
