Hi

Firefox Sync is not designed as online storage - it's primary purpose is to help sync bookmarks and passwords between copies of Firefox.

If you change your password any data that is in in the process of beinge synced between copies of Firefox is deleted from the Sync process to protect you against anyone who may be changing your credentials without your permission.
