After downloading Firefox browser from my organizations toolbox on my new enterprise Macbook Pro, I logged in using my email address, but my password was not recognized. After resetting my password and successfully logging in, none of my previous data is available. Is there a way to find this data from my last back up? I do have my Mozilla recovery key.

Hi

Unfortunately I do not think that is going to be possible. If you use the "forgotten password" route, data in sync between copies of Firefox is erased as a security measure.
