Can I sync or restore Firefox data from a synced mobile device back to PC after PC Firefox deleted
Thanks to a Microsoft update my PC had to have Windows reinstalled causing me to lose all my apps. I have reinstalled Firefox on the PC but of course, all my bookmarks and passwords are missing. I had set up syncing between my PC and my Android mobile devices (phone and tablet). Can I restore or sync from the mobile device back to the PC? I have searched and found nothing. Even when signed into Firefox on the phone, it does not bring up "Sync" when I go to settings. I truly appreciate your help.

Is your data on the mobile device? If so, you should be able to sign into your account on the computer and the data should start to populate.
Unfortunately this is not happening. The data is on my Samsung phone. My email shows that another person (Emelia Linda) replied to my question but I don't see her reply here. She said to make sure that syncing for passwords and bookmarks is enabled on Firefox on my phone. There is nothing in the Firefox settings on my phone about syncing. When I look at my Mozilla account (https://accounts.Firefox.com) and go to Settings/Connected Services, it correctly shows all my devices that are connected. Is there any way for me to copy my bookmarks and passwords back to my PC? Really appreciate anyone's help!!

Never mind. For some very odd reason, all my passwords are still on the PC but everything else is gone. No old saved Firefox, all the profiles are from after the reinstall of Windows. And I was wrong that all of these things were syncing to my mobile devices. Apparently tabs were syncing which is not something I care about.
Mark it as resolved if there are no further questions and have a nice day.
