Hello community, does anybody know wether it's possible to get a backup from Firefox for a sync that didn't work? I got a new computer today from my company and synced my Firefox settings on the old one before. Back home with my new computer I was able to run the sync but all my settings are lost. Even though I'm logged into Firefox with my account. Problem: the old computer is already cleared and set back. Any ideas or solutions out there? Thanks and cheers, Christian

You can install the About Sync extension in Firefox 72 and newer on desktop to check what data is stored on the Sync server via the about:sync page provided by this extension.

Close and restart Firefox to access the about:sync page added by this extension (see the about:about page for possible about pages).
