"Impact on data after a password reset: If you reset your account password with a recovery key, you keep access to encrypted sync data (like bookmarks, passwords and settings) on Mozilla’s servers."
"Without the recovery key, this synced data is erased for security. However, if you reset your password on a device that has a local copy of your data, signing in with your new password will re-upload the local data to Sync. On a device without local data, the synced data will be permanently lost."

I am already "signed-in" (by Password Mgr.) so can't get
the Mozilla Account Sign-in Dialog, so don't see a link to
"Forgot Password"

The recovery key keeps this data connected to your account. Without the
recovery key, this synced data is erased for security. However, if you
reset your password on a device that has a local copy of your data, signing
in with your new password will re-upload the local data to Sync. On a device
without local data, the synced data will be permanently lost."

So if I "log out", my data will be erased, and I don't know where -
or if - I have a local copy. So far, a search hasn't found anything
or I don't know exactly what to search for. Catch-22. If I could
get back to the login dialog without losing the stored data, I HAVE
a Recovery Key.
What can I do? Please help me, O'Obi Wan Kanobe!
