All my bookmarks I lost, how to retrieve previous sync from IOS

more options

Hi,

My main pc is not working anymore. I opened up an old one but I have the bookmark from last year on it even after syncing. I wanted to retrieve my bookmarks from the pc that crashed. I went to my firefox app but now even there the old bookmarks are sync.

How can I retrieve a previous syncronisation from IOS app? On the PC i can restore a old version but the one that I have on my PC are from a year ago. Can I retrieve a more recent sync or back up from the IOS app?

Thanks a lot for the help,

Best,

Hi, Sync should have merged the bookmarks from the server with the local ones. You can check what data is in the Sync cloud for your Mozilla Account using the About Sync add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/about-sync/

After you install the add-on, you can type or paste about:sync in the address bar and press Enter to load it. The page shows each category of data currently found in the Sync cloud.

Anything additional under bookmarks that hasn't shown up yet?

If not, is there any potential to extract data from the broken PC (for example, by using a USB hard drive enclosure to read the disk)?

Helpful?
