I have a laptop that died last week. I just got onto a new device, and would like to restore my Firefox settings from that previous device. So, I downloaded firefox, signed in to sync my bookmarks and extensions... and the old device does not appear in my synced devices list. Is there anything I can do to recover my account data? I know it was synced as recently as a few days ago. The device is completely bricked and I will not be able to log in on it anymore. Is there anything to be done?

To properly backup the old Firefox data you need to have another computer run the old hard drive and then use Firefox backup methods to move the data/login/profile onto a usb drive and then from the new Firefox restore them back onto the new Firefox browser. Sync isn't a backup device so that is why you don't the data there. You can't get sync to a non-function device that no longer is connected. At this point if you can't get that drive setup to run and see the data to copy over there's not much that can be done by any users on here. You going to have to take it to a computer shop to figure a solution.
