I backed up mybookmark,tabs,history,add-ons,preferences. But after installing fresh copy of Firefox I'm not able 2 sync my data into my Firefox. Wht shud I do?
I had backed up my data (bookmarks, tabs, history, add-ons, preferences) using Firefox sync. I formatted my PC and installed a FRESH copy of Firefox. But when I tried to restore the data using FF sync and after logging in successfully, I was shown a notification saying that "Firefox will begin syncing momentarily" but my data wasn't restored. What should I do in order to retrieve the data that I had saved?

Firefox Sync is not a back up service unfortunately. Please consider in the future backing up your profile locally before reformatting your computer. Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

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.
