My account disappeared?
I reinstalled windows and when I downloaded Firefox, my account had been deleted. When I tried to log in to firefox sync, it asked me to make a new account.
I had so many passwords on there and now I can no longer access as my account was deleted
Please help

Click the link to restore your account. Visit https://accounts.firefox.com/ directly and sign in there. Select "Enable" next to Account Recovery on the page.

Hi Matthew, what method did you use to reinstall it? The Windows "Refresh" or "Reset" should preserve your data in a folder named
C:\Windows.old
Can you find such a folder on your system?
If so:
Before proceeding, please set Windows to show you hidden files and folders: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files
Then check here:
C:\Windows.old\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
You might just have one profile folder, or you might have more than one.
Anything so far?

Is it possible you were using a different email address for your Firefox Account? I don't think you can re-use an address you used before. ???
