Hi. I synced my firefox acocunt, including bookmarks, before restarting my windows completely. When installing firefox again and syncing, it does not sync any of the bookmarks/passwords. What should I do to get them back?

How long did you wait before restarting the computer ?

Uploading all your personal data to the Sync server isn't done instantly and can take quite some time, so it is possible that not all your data had been uploaded.

You can install the About Sync extension in Firefox 72 and newer on desktop to check what data is stored on the Sync server via the about:sync page provided by this extension.

Close and restart Firefox to access the about:sync page added by this extension (see the about:about page for possible about pages).
