Had to reinstall the Browser on my laptop after a harddrive replacement. I'm avoiding changing my password on my primary Firefox Account (Currently on a brand new FF Account using an email I typically don't use ) since that event will cause me to lose bookmarks etc on my primary FF account due to their encryption settings.

This is all because I can't remember my main password, for my primary FF Account email. And, I'm trying to not get locked out from login attempts.

At the moment my primary FF Account is logged in to my Desktop PC. Is there some way to view my password on my primary account that is currently logged in on my Desktop PC, without totally compromising my Account synced info?

I just want to resync everything to my laptop :/ That's the main problem I'm running in to, because there is no way to reset my password WITHOUT losing tons of my info. I'm pretty sure I don't have 2FA set up nor any alternative methods for password recovery. I wasn't prompted them.

You will have to reset the password when you reset your password, your bookmarks and other synced data should still be available, as long as you are able to log in with your new password on all of your devices. However, if you're concerned about losing any data during the password reset process, you may want to contact Firefox support for further assistance.
