My old sync data is gone when signed in to new device. Don't have access to old device.
I have synced my bookmarks and configuration from one of my old device and signed out from the device. Now when I signed on a new device and synced all the data is gone. How can I get back the data?

Hi
Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.
It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.
If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.

Thank you. Yes, I used it as a backup option. Unfortunately, I don't have copies or backup anywhere else. Thank you for the fast response.
