My HDD died suddenly, and I was forced to install OS on a new drive. After installing firefox and signing in into sync, I discovered that none of the bookmarks nor the passwords are there anymore. I really need them! is there any way to retrieve them?

Sync was working for more than an year, but I can't find anything. Is there anywhere I have to look/click or it have to be an automatic recover after signing in? If it is automatic, than it just doesn't work for some reason.

Unless you got the data from your old hard drive, or a backup somewhere . . . . . . .
