How can I undo a sync?
Yesterday morning I accidentally did a sync between my desktop and an old laptop. It failed midway and I stopped it anyway when I realized that I didn't want it to happen.
I know how to restore bookmarks, but most importantly I lost all my user script settings in greasemonkey and possibly some scripts themselves as well. The best thing that could happen right now would be to undo that entire sync since it was unintentional anyway. Is this possible?

I am not aware of any Firefox method for doing that.
However the Windows OS is often capable of rolling back files to previous versions. Take care always to back up the original first, because it will be overwritten.
The bookmarks and History are actually in the database places.sqlite and as you are apparently aware Firefox also creates a series of snapshot backups of bookmarks that will restore into places.sqlite
I have not used Greasemonkey for a long while I guess it stores its scripts within some file in the Firefox profile
Incidentally if you ever deliberately use Firefox Sync to Sync bookmarks you must also routinely backup the bookmarks manually. Sync will occasionally corrupt or duplicate your bookmarks and that will be almost impossible to sort out without suitable unaffected backups.
