My account was recently hacked by someone using find-it pro hijacker after i clicked on a phishing/spam email disguised as a git-hub repository for AI/machine learning.

The hacker gained access to my google,MS,linkedin,X and other email accounts he removed my profile photo on linkedin and deleted all my education and employment details, he also went to X and changed my name from Daniel to (Tesla Investor) in order to deceive innocent people,he also deleted or synced a lot of my emails in a bid to sieve for financial data he can use to compromise my banking and card details

i have been able to recover all the accounts, made a police report to protect myself in case of impersonation and also following up with the x-support team to unmask his identity as he even posted! from my account.

I had to wipe out everything Firefox from my system as i did not know exactly what directory had been compromised unfortunately l lost all my bookmarks of years containing many links and urls i frequently categorized for my education and professional development

I prefer Firefox because the browser allows a user to create folders and subfolders and then bookmark any url or site for future reference and ease of navigation e.g (software eng -> frontend,backend,ml) i have hundreds of bookmarks and folders and i can no longer see anything as i performed a clean installation and used malware bytes to remove the infections that had hidden themselves in various system folders on my local machine, everything including my passwords had also been synced to the hacker's local machine.

Is there anyway Firefox can help me restore or sync back all these hundreds/if not thousands of bookmarks and folders on my account from their own servers, i just feel a loss in enthusiasm that someone could just take away in an instant years of hardwork, it is hard for me to start bookmarking all these information that took years to arrange neatly in my firefox folders so that if i sign in on another system, i can easily continue my work as a developer.

I would appreciate if anyone can guide me on how to reach Mozilla team if they can help to get a re-sync if possible even if it is up to Jan 31, 2025

Going forward i wont store any passwords on Mozilla again as i have gone to the settings to turn all these features the hacker exploited off, but just bookmarks and i have setup 2fa too on all my most sensitive work and email sites.
