How to sync with Firefox sync after reinstalling Windows? I only have one device.
I only have one device that syncs with my account xxxx.xxxxxxxx@rci.rogers.com. The IT department at my work upgraded my computer to Windows 7, and after reinstalling Firefox I realized that I can't get my bookmarks back since I can't connect to my account.
How can I sync again? I don't have a recovery key either.
Thanks in advance!
Luis.

Did your IT keep a backup of your old user profile folder? Your Firefox settings are stored in there. This article describes the relevant locations for XP and newer versions of Windows: Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
If you can get a copy of your old profile folder, then you can recover nearly everything.
If not, unfortunately, without a copy of the Recovery Key/Sync Key, I don't think there is any way to break in to your Sync account.
Hi jscher2000:
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately they didn't keep a copy of my old profile folder.
Thanks,
Hi Thetraveller, I should have stated the question differently, but perhaps the answer is the same: did they save a copy of C:\Users\username\ (or C:\Documents and Settings\username\) which would contain your Firefox profile folder. If not, I think they should, but...
