Are you talking about sync? Were you using it as a backup?

Sync was not meant as a backup for your profile. It is meant only to share data between other profiles/systems.

If you have others sharing the sync, the data might still be there.

Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail, will remove all data from the servers.

This is a security feature. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information
