logged into account, Account won't Sync.

Alright so basically, Got new PC, have set it up with the basics, Firefox, Steam, etc.

But the problem is, i logged into my firefox account, it has the username, avatar, etc. But it's not synced *any* of my stuff, No addons, no Bookmarks, no saved passwords, etc. etc., and i've had tons of Bookmarks and i don't wanna go and try find each and every one of those again.

Why isn't it sync'ing everything over? i've only used firefox on PC, and i cant use that PC cause we've unplugged in and such, boxed away now.

If you have a lot of data to sync, it may take a while to load it all. You can check to see if Firefox is actively trying to sync by pressing the menu button in the top right of Firefox and seeing if the reload button next to your Firefox Sync name is blue and spinning.

If it's not, you can click that button to manually force Firefox to sync.

If it is, Firefox should be attempting to load your data. If the process stays like that for an extended period of time, restarting Firefox will usually fix the issue.

If restarting Firefox doesn't help, you may need to get the information from your other computer. Firefox Sync is not a data backup service, so there are times where it may not keep all of your data.

This is particularly noticeable if you had to reset your Firefox Account password, since your data gets removed in that circumstance.

Hope this helps.

Already did the Manual sync, and it does nothing, I've resetted firefox several times and it did nothing

It sounds like you will need to access your old computer then. It's likely that the information you are looking for is no longer stored on the Firefox Sync servers.
