No pages explain what sync really is. I would assume the data stored on firefox central for my account would be compared to the data (bookmarks in particualr) on the device and that the 2 lists are shared equally so both end up different from the start but the same as each other. Now I dont know and help pages do not discuss what sync actually does!
So my laptop went crazy today and the bookmarks listed suddenyl all point to totally different webpages, some of which I had visited recently but not bookmarked. It follows I have lost my bookmarks then. So I used sync, thinking it would restore my bookmarks correctly but it did not - it seems to have uploaded the new false bookmarks to Firefox, which in turn downloaded them to my other devices so, thanks to Firefox sync, I have effectively lost dozens of bookmarks across all my devices and I cannot find help which is useful.
Is there a way to restore those devices to the bookmarks stored yesterday?
