I accidently uninstalled firefox browser and lost my homepage shortcuts to websites, tabs on the browser, saved passwords, bookmarks etc. I tried logging in after installing it again and apparently I didnt have an account. Is there any way to get my stuff back? It is a big blow and sets me back on a lot of things. Help Ryan

Hi Ryan, unfortunately, when you remove an app on Android, the OS may completely flush your app data. I don't know whether there is any secret method to recover it, but maybe an Android site would have some tips?

If you meant on a desktop system (Windows/Mac/Linux), usually uninstalling Firefox doesn't delete your data (unless you select that during the process). There are better tools for recovering deleted data on computers than phones.
