Having set up sync, I assumed info from all my devices would be merged, not so. I set up sync on my desktop, then synced my laptop and all the info from the laptop disappeared. There were a lot of useful bookmarks there but I cannot now find them. Can I recover previous setting/bookmarks/history when a new device is synced? Also why is the no warning as to what will happen to browser information on subsequent devices when they are synced. Horrible thought also comes, have I lost my log in data that may have been unique to the laptop?

If bookmarks get lost then there might be a problem with the places.sqlite database file.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
