Hello,

Yesterday I had to reinstall my ubuntu distro. I then tried to retrieve all info saved in Firefox https://account.services.mozilla.com/ but could not because Mozilla developed a new sync https://accounts.firefox.com/ feature. How could I solve this issue? I do not want to loose all the data I previously stored....

Thanks in advance

Hello, here comes the solution I found. Install an old version of Firefox, connect with the old sync, wait till Firefox synchronizes all data, install a new version of Firefox and then follow https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync. Easy :)
