Hi, I'm looking for a way for everything saved on my firefox account including bookmarks, favorites, history etc.. to be automatically saved/backed up, EXACTLY the same way like Apple has it with iCloud.

If I lose my phone, I can log into icloud and get everything 100% the way it was on my new phone.

If I reset my computer, I want to be able to log into my firefox account and have everything exactly the same.

How to do this? I was told the firefox account sync doesn't back anything up...

Sync isn't a backup system - you need to search Firefox FAQ and follow the instructions. Searching is simple to find the instructions.

That's correct. That's exactly why I'm asking how to automatically restore all my data once I log into my Firefox account. Why don't you have a backup system?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices - these talk about MANUAL backup. I need automatic like with iCloud like I said in my example.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966133 - my PC reset and I did enter my email address and password (no special key was required), and nothing was restored on my PC.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1381158 - the correct path is actually This PC > Windows > Users > Username > AppData > Local > Mozilla > Firefox and that doesn't have any of my bookmarks even though I selected bookmarks to be shown under "sync settings".
