Saved password cleared after reset account password
Hi, my latop was stolen and today I start configuring a new one. After install Firefox on Lubuntu Linux , I performed the flow to reset password , I got the mail, I chosen a new password, however the saved password section are empty .. I think I had thousands, I waited some minutes , also clicked several times on button "Sync Now" with no success . Is there a way to recover them? Any help will be useful , thanks

If you are talking about sync;
Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail or password, will remove all data from the servers. The username and password are used to create the encryption.

- I’ve forgotten, or don't have access to, my Firefox Account email address
Note: Only the data on the servers is cleared. The profile data is not changed or removed.
