You can install the About Sync extension in Firefox 72 and newer on desktop to check what data is stored on the Sync server via the about:sync page provided by this extension.

Close and restart Firefox to access the about:sync page added by this extension (see the about:about page for possible about pages).


You can use a USB drive or transfer personal data directly if both profile folders are on the same device.

You can copy specific files with Firefox closed from another profile or from a backup to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data.
