How to overwrite saved passwords in Firefox sync with the ones in the device
Hello,
I have lost all my saved passwords after the new Firefox update, I've tried several solutions but none of them worked, and I've three devices on Firefox sync, unfortunately, my computer synced the empty list of logins with the cloud, I tried to sync one of my phones and records got deleted on that phone too :(
Now I have only one phone where my logins exist, how can I overwrite the ones in the cloud with these logins? or how can I backup them to a file?
I've Firefox 58 on that device.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Pkshadow,
Sorry, I'm just looking for an addon or something to export my logins from my device, or a way to overwrite the data in the cloud with the data in my device, I'm not sure how this functionality works and I don't have much time to take a look at the code, do you have any idea?
Thank you.
