Bought a new computer after old computer crashed leaving me unable to retrieve previous firefox configuration & data? How do I "download" sync data to my new installed Firefox Browser on my new computer?

Hi DonMashak, if you connect your new Firefox to your existing Sync account, your new Firefox should pick up all of the data in the account.

See How do I set up Sync on my computer? - section entitled "Connect additional devices to Sync"
