Hi,

Long story short, due to a boot up error loop, i was forced to reinstall windows.

I have done this before and after logging into my Firefox account, everything synced. This time however, it did not work. All my Book Marks, Passwords etc are gone. I really need those back.

If anyone can assist i will greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.

It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.

If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
