No. Resetting a Firefox Account password deletes the data saved for that account in the Sync server.

The original password was used to encrypt the data as it was being sent to the Sync server and a new (different) password can't decrypt that data, making it useless, so it is deleted.

Hi, sorry. With out you logging in with your stuff to do so. That Can and will not happen, also Support does not have access to your Sync information or account. Suggest you go to google login page and request a new password for your address and it will be sent to your alternate address as you should have one as the questions asked will lead to that result. That is the place to start. Good Luck.

I did everything I could to reset the password the gmail account password but I couldn't. The passwords stored on the Firefox account was my last chance of getting that email back. I saw the questions about confirming Firefox account and there were some reasonable answers but in my opinion it really is unnecessary. I have another Firefox account that might have contained such information but I forgot the password to the account and I had to reset it. Is there anyway to recover the info on that account?

specially this: In summary, if you can not recover the account using the provided process, it may be lost. There are no other account recovery options available.
