I have performed a fromat on my system ssd so there is no firefox info/details left on my pc. After install of new firefox I have reset my sync account password not realising that it erease my backup. Is there a chance of retriving it from sync server or is it lost forever? This is not ideal cos I had a lot of bookmarks there and it will be very sad to loose them :(.

If you have just created a New Sync account that should be no problem.

Sorry, If you lost your previous details for the New Sync account, or if you deleted or reset that it is gone forever.
