Hi Suga, I can first empathize with your situation, as loosing all personal data is one of my worst nightmares. Second, I understand that the situation now is that you have a mobile device with no data on it, but just the applications as well as Firefox for Android.

Please seek legal advice if this is a legal matter. Please make a back up of any data that you want to keep.

However in Firefox for Android there are two features I would recommend:

  1. Do not track is located in Settings > Privacy > Tracking, select "Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences"
  2. Clear data frequently from the same menu

As for the other applications on the phone, each app will have a permissions agreement, like Firefox for Android, where it will tell you what kind of data is shared or needs permissions in order to work properly.

If you have any other questions, we are happy to help.

Do you use a security application like Lookout?

For Android issues that aren't specific to Firefox, I generally use this forum: http://forums.androidcentral.com/
