I reinstalled Windows and downloaded Firefox, but have forgotten the password synchronization. Successfully restoring it, I connected to my account. But synchronization has not occurred. Other synchronized devices are not available. Can I somehow recover the data?

When you request a new Password for Sync, your data is wiped from the Sync server.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
