Firefox is not synching my bookmarks on my new computer
I just bought a new computer and signed into my account like normal. Bookmarks won't sync. I've been through about 3 computers over the last year and haven't had any issues till now. I've tried everything I can think of including: reinstall Firefox, sign in and out, reboot, click on sync several times, and nothing. Help! I'm using Windows 11 for the first time. Is that the issue?

So it looks like since I changed my password, I just lost years of bookmarks. I really wish there was a warning somewhere where it mentions that you will lose your bookmarks. Frustrated and pissed off right now.
If you currently still have the older computer and you can still login with Firefox to do the sync again but if you tossed it away or wiped it clean there nothing that can be done anymore for the lost data.

If you still have access to old system and have not tried to sync yet on that system then perhaps you could get a copy of your Profile and transfer over to new system. Note the Sync feature is not really considered a backup option.
