Did you choose to remove personal data when you uninstalled Firefox?

If you do that then all Firefox profile folders from all Firefox versions will be removed and you lose all of your personal data.
You could try to recover a profile with an undelete utility like Recuva.

Note that you should always keep a release version of Firefox installed because alpha builds like Aurora can fail at any time or otherwise have problems with some websites.

If you have deleted the Sync account on the Sync server then there is no way to recover data.
If you only unlinked all devices then you would need the user name (email, password of the account and the Sync key and set up Sync once again on a computer.S
