Account is gone because I changed my password

Hey I changed my password before reinstalling the Windows but when I reinstall Firefox and logged in, all of my information was gone since Firefox doesn't back up after password change so I uninstalled Firefox since then because it was useless to me. I was looking through my files and I find that I still have the previous recovery code before changing password, can it be used to recover my passwords and bookmarks?!

Did you change or reset? Going forward, it's best to have your data backed up and on more than 1 device. see screenshot

No changed, because it was simple. It's too late now and since then I'm only using Chrome since it won't lose my information just with a password change.

I 100% agree!!! Just a password change and your data goes poof!!! Who does that?!?!?!?! Mark it as resolved and have a nice day.  ;-))

Yes because I changed my passwords on all of my browser, Firefox, Chrome and Edge but only it happened on Firefox. So you're telling me the previous recovery key is useless too?

Sorry, but we have no way on knowing about your keys. If your data is gone then it's a wrap.
