By mistake, instead of restoring the password, you filtered the account. Can I return the pages and sites I keep and restore them again?

Could you explain in more detail what you are trying to restore, and what action you took?

I was trying to access my account, but I forgot the password and asked for the password back via email. I waited 15 minutes and the account was whistled and the new password was restored, but the account doesn't show the saved pages.

Do you mean your Firefox Account? There are two ways to change your password for a Firefox Account, but one of them causes all the data to be deleted.

If you had Firefox installed on this computer previously, your data might still be stored in local data files. Could you describe the situation with this computer in a little more detail -- when was the last time Firefox was running normally with your data and what happened after that?

Do you mean Firefox bookmarks? If Sync did not restore your bookmarks, you can try to restore them using one of the automatic backups:

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

Otherwise, what kind of saved pages are you talking about?

Sir. I have a new Windows and I have an earlier account in Firefox and when I entered the data I whistled the account and entered my account and I did not find the references saved because of the account zeroing Can you recover saved data, reference signals and pages?

The Firefox Sync service works best when both devices are attached to the same account simultaneous. Sync doesn't always work as a backup to restore data. Also, if the data was erased from the account, then you would need to recover your data using a backup from your old computer.

Did you possibly reset the password of the Sync account because you forgot the password?

Resetting the password for the Firefox Account will remove all data stored on the Sync server because this password is used to encrypt your data before it is uploaded to the Sync server and only this password can decrypt this data.
