Hi, you make no mention of a 2nd device your syncing with. So it appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of these article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
If this is not the case please let us know.
I dont have any 2nd device like android.
i just used firefox on my PC and many times i used diffrent ips on my same pc
so it shows many devices logged in to my sync account
now after sync, only saved user names shows up on username fields but no password comes up.
whats wrong with the passwords?
Bump
im using 32 bit version on 64bit windows
Hi Please reread my 1st post. Backup as is intended as per URL's above Sync is not meant to be a backup service. It is meant to transfer information from 1 device to another. What becomes of the information in between it degrades, gets, corrupted, deleted, no idea other than it is not a backup service. If your logins are not showing up they are gone for the previous reasons explained.
There are other services which may meet you needs or not. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=sync
