I deleted a user on my Laptop after this I created a new one. Then I started firefox and signed in in firefox sync but all my datas are lost. No tabs, no bookmarks and no addons were recovered, where can I get them back, when Firefox Sync don't save them?

Sorry, there are no backups for Sync data.

Per chance, did you request a new Password for your Firefox Account?

If you need to scrounge up old data from your hard drive, you can try an "undelete" tool like the following:

The sooner you run it, the better, because every disk write destroys some old data.

As you may know, the folder you're looking for is your old profile folder. See: Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
