I lost my computer, the browser was protected by a master password. The device is synchronized with other devices. Can any people uninstall and install the new browser's and get access to my data in sync?

Data to connect to the Sync server is not protected by the Master Password and Firefox uses a signedInUser.json to store the credential to log in automatically on each start.

You should change the password of the Firefox account immediately to disconnect all linked devices.
