I had Firefox browser (and lots of bookmarks) on my desktop computer. I recently had a problem with my Windows 10 and needed to reinstall the Windows 10 on that computer. I then reinstalled the Firefox browser. It appears that all of my bookmarks are gone. How do I find them and restore them to my computer. I am in a panic mode. Any assistance would be appreciated.

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.
