How do I import my data from Firefox Sync after an uninstall?
I recently uninstalled Firefox and accidentally checked "delete all saved data".
I reinstalled and I am now trying to log in to Firefox Sync so they are recovered since from my understanding the data is saved on the Sync server.
Questions:
1. Why is it asking me to pair a device? I don't want to pair my phone or anything, I just want to log in from my PC browser and recover my stuff.
2. What is a recovery key and why do I need it?
3. How do I recover my lost data since I can't log in to sync?

Your recovery key is used to encrypt your data on the Sync server.

Also:
- If you have regenerated your Sync key or reset your Sync password, you can not recover your previous data
- IMPORTANT - write down your Sync key as instructed in the original set up of Sync
- if you have another device (computer or mobile) paired to the computer where you are having a problem, you can either:
- pair the problem computer to that other device
- get the Sync key from that other device
Remember, Sync was never intended for backup. The reason for its existence is to sync-up 2 devices. To back up your Firefox profile, which you should do frequently, to another drive or a pin/thumb drive or other backup media, see:
