retrieving data after moving from windows to linux
I switched from Windows to Linux. I have signed in and tried retrieving bookmarks, browsing history and passwords, AFTER already having formatted my computer and deleted Windows. I signed in to the same account, had syncing on, but i can't seem to get any of the stuff back. I didn't have any additional backup files with those. Is there anyway i could somehow restore it all? The bookmarks are most important to me out of those. I'd be extremely grateful for any help

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.
