Firefox Sync - Missing Option to Open All Synced Tabs on Desktop

Historically, I remember when you open the `sync` sidebar and right click on the tab grouping (i.e. Firefox on iPad), it opened a context menu where you had the option to `open all synced tabs`. This seems to be missing from the latest version of Firefox (138), but wanted to check in to see if I'm missing something or if I should downgrade my version of Firefox to get that functionality again.

My computer died today due to water damage, which means I can't turn it back on again. I got a new computer, I've looked all over the Firefox support websites, and can't find a solution as to how to get all of my Firefox data onto this new computer. I tried the profile page, but it looks like a profile for my old computer's Firefox never even existed. I have no idea where to find any of my old data.

So I reformatted my computer today, but the process allowed me to keep all my personal files. I had made a backup in my appdata for all my passwords and bookmarks like Firefox allows when you're in Manage Passwords or Manage Bookmarks. After the formatting, I sign into my Firefox account, and it Syncs almost immediately. When I go into my appdata, the profile has been overwritten by the new sync, meaning all my passwords and bookmarks are now no longer available. Is there legitimately anything I can do??

I want to sync across several computers, but I'll be happy if I can sync across my phone and desktop. Firefox on the desktop gives me a qr code but it's disagreeable about just using my camera reader. It wants me to open the special app in Firefox. But there is no such thing. In particular, there is no "Ready to scan" button. Mozilla, could you make this easier?

I had to reset my computer. Then when tried to sync my mozilla data. Maybe because I had to change my password due it was in my computer's passwords key (I didn't memorize it, my bad). I'm worry because I'm a ebay's seller and all the bookmarks are so important for my store due there are info of my items future sales. So I'm so sad and desperate. I'll GREATLY appreciate your help, please. Thank you so much for time.
