Dear firefox team,

i got a new Pc and try to restore my old data (from over 2 years ago) on my new Pc but it seems it only Syncs/Restores the data that comes with a new Firefox installation. Im not good with Pc's so i have no idea what to do or not, i consulted the Support before and tried to follower the provided steps but it wont fix my "problem".

i hope you can help me best regards, Yuki

Data stored on the Sync server expires and two years is a long time, so it is unlikely that your passwords are still on the Sync server.

If you still have access to the old computer then you can use a portable store device like a USB jump stick to transfer the passwords and possibly other data.

good to know, thanks so much for your help. Unfortunately i have no longer accesses to my old PC, guess i reset my old passwords and make a backup of this profile on a stick.

thanks again, Yuki
