Hi, I did a clean install from win10 to win11, then installed firefox and logged in to my account but it havent synced anything? All my saved passwords and bookmarks are gone!?

Can someone please help me get them back! Does anyone have a solution for this?

Read something about that a backup is saved on your computer? Isnt saved to a cloud? Thats what a thought! I have done a clean install on a new drive, old drive i already wiped aswell! Doesnt have a windows.old dir or anything.

Please tell me everything isnt lost!

Best regards Gabriel

OMG. Any data you have on the server are erased when you reset your password (unless you use recovery keys). Do you have account recovery keys somewhere?

See Reset your Mozilla account password with Recovery Keys.

Sadly I only use firefox on my computer. Thanks for the information anyway, I appreciate the help.
