Firefox backup worked the wrong way around.

My computer died. Luckily I had all my Firefox passwords, favourites etc synced with my account. I got my wife's old computer, fired up and logged into Firefox expecting it to sync all of the data from my account onto this new computer, but, it seems to have now backed up all the data from my wife's computer and overwritten mine. Is there any way I can recover all of my original stuff please?
