I accidentally deleted my sync data

I have firefox 10.0 and a windows 7 home premium 64 bit sp1

I accidentally deleted my sync data or whatever by generating a new sync key. I didn't see the note on the bottom saying that changing that would erase all data stored on the sync server.

How do I get my sync data back?? It was a total accident, and I need it back. Is there a way I can email them or something and tell them my email and password, and the time I deleted it? I need everything back, and everything was fine up until 4:30pm today..

Hi!

Sorry to read that but the data is completely encrypted and when you generate a new key you are re-encrypting it.

Your only option is to go back to a previous bookmarks set up and keep going from there. To do so, go to your Bookmarks Menu and search for the Star menu at the top. Click on it and click Restore. Select one of the previous versions of your bookmarks and you should be fine.

Let me know if that helps.
