Hi, I know this is a long shot but I'm wondering if it's possible to sync downloads across Firefox devices. I lost my phone recently and I had a LOT of downloads on it that I couldn't backup to the cloud. Is it possible to somehow make those available through another device, like my laptop that has Firefox?

Thank you

Sorry, but no. Downloads are not part of the sync process. see screenshot

Whilst downloads, as jonzn says, do not sync between devices where you're logged in - your web history does. If there's an important file you're looking for or missing it is quite possible to find the download link in your web history via search and simply download it again, so long as it is still available from the original source.
