Unfortunately the latest Android/Google update was recently forced onto my phone. I did not realize it triggered a change to Google Play Store to "auto" update apps. [a setting I HAD turned off!] Next time I enabled the Play Store, Firefox was automatically updated.
The moment I realized what had happened, I opened the "sync" setting in the FF browser and clicked to make sure it had just performed a sync. At that time, it showed multiple devices in the "sync family". Then I removed Firefox app from the phone. When I reinstalled from an older operating version of Firefox and went to sync, I had to log into the Mozilla account again.
After trying all the passwords I could think of possibly using, I created a new one. Stupid I know. And sure enough, once I was signed in, there are no other devices shown. And Sync recovered nothing.
I went to another family member phone, who I thought had one of my log in sessions, and they did not. So now I do not have anything sync-ed in, and do not know where I can turn to another device to "find" the old sync either.
