How is it possible to go back and revert my toolbar that synced with my work PC. I have 5 plus years of bookmarks and folders that I have lost due to the fact it synced up. Is the older data synced anywhere on my local Mac PC??

To Be clear-my synced version is through Mozilla which I did not know was not signed in for yearsw on my mac desktop at home but should or could've been. So therefor all my work is lost as it updated to my new work PC. The lost version is the master,

How you can undo sync on firefox?

You should have disconnected the sync on the computer you were giving away first.

With sync, there is no going back.

Restore Bookmark Backups

Firefox automatically makes backups of the bookmarks. These are stored in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Restore. From the list, pick the file you want and click it
