I signed in to Firefox, not even knowing that I wasn't for the past year+ and I lost all my saved logins. There is no other profile saved that has them. How do I recover the old saved logins?

Hi
Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.
It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.
If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
I'm not "using it" for anything! It asked me to sign in for something else and then bam, all my saved logins are gone. Still have bookmarks. Please help! (I'm not using Firefox on any other device.)
