When i set up a new windows 11 install, i installed firefox, like normal, and 90% of my data wasnt there! my history from the last few months isnt here and my bookmarks! My passwords and ext are saved though, can i get it back? Aswell, when i restart the browser, all my new bookmarks and data goes away too!

If the Windows 11 was the only computer on the sync setup then the chances of the data still there will be gone since it was on that computer only and not other devices. Sync isn't made for data backup it only sync between devices and if the main is wipe clean then most likely all the data is gone and there is no recovery possible. The data should've had a hard backup but if none was done then chances of finding the data is next to impossible.
