imported a dead backup, now all bookmarks (100+) gone
Hi. I used braindead the backup function in the bookmark tab (see picture) After that all my bookmarks are gone. I thought its not a problem since im always sinced with firefox, but guess firefox already sinced my empty bookmarklist or i just dont know how to get the old one. I made a fresh windows install a few hours ago, so i guess i dont have a local backup on my pc. Kinda funny that Firefox does a backup right after a new install, but not when importing a bookmarklist.
Is there a way to get an old backup out of my mozilla account, or are 10+ years of saving bookmarks just gone?

Sync FYI isn't for backup only to sync between devices. As you reinstalled Win OS that means any local data is gone and if the backup methods failed to save then that would mean the data is gone. What do you mean Firefox browser does a backup? So unless you physically saved the backup to another USB device or external storage if you kept on the same computer windows will wipe clean any data on there so if you did then it's wiped clean the data.
