</p><p>Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.
</p><p>It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
</p><p>If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this <a href="/en-US/kb/recover-lost-or-missing-bookmarks" rel="nofollow"> article</a>.
</p><p>If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these <a href="/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer#w_connect-additional-devices-to-sync" rel="nofollow">instructions</a> to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
