Yesterday I reinstalled windows and installed Firefox dev-edition.

when I signed in sync , everything was fine... I saw all my bookmarks and history, addons were installed too...

then I installed kmp player and as I later discovered he brought some unwanted apps like "yandex, iwebar and their company"... that i discovered today, when i went trouble with internet connection...

so i uninstalled that apps and than restored system to yesterday ... internet come back...

but when i reinstalled Firefox and signed in sync , there was nothing...

i tried many ways... installing different versions, creating new profile did nothing...

is possible to get back my sync history or it has gone away already ? please help me...

_ika,

I understand that when you went to add back the sync account to a new install of Firefox after restoring to a previous version that nothing in the profile was syncing, or there was no data there.

If you still have a back up to where the data was still on the local profile, please use that back up to restore the profile data that is not longer there: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
