Hi

Firefox Sync is not designed to be an online backup. Do you still have your bookmarks, history and saved passwords in another copy of Firefox you have connected to Firefox Sync?

Have you recently used the "forgotten password" process? This will delete any data that you have in the process of being synced between copies of Firefox.
