I have reset my Firefox account password, but still have the saved passwords and data on my phone from before the reset, if I reconnect my phone to the internet will I lose that data? Is there a way to re-sync those data to my account?

Title sorta says it all. The other day when I opened FireFox on my laptop it said my account had been disconnected, and to re-sign in. In a long story short, I did not have my phone for several weeks and it was dead. I received it afterwards, did not allow it to connect to the internet, and still have that old profile data on my phone.

Can that data safely be retrieved or re-synced to my account? If so, how? It would be iPhone to Windows 11 install.

Respectfully, Michael

Also, perhaps for brevity or clarity:
