Hi all. I've had to reinstall Windows and lost all my data and files in the process. After reinstalling Windows and Firefox, I tried restoring the sessions on my PC before the Windows reinstall, but could not find them in the "tabs from other devices", history, or anywhere. I did find that my older version of windows is still a connected in the Connected Services list, yet it does not show in synced tabs, on PC or on my phone. Is there any way to restore my old sessions or at least recover the history on another device on the Connected Services list?

You can check if you have a C:\Windows.old folder with your Firefox profile data.

I've lost all files including Windows.old. No trace of anything.
