I deleted the 549 contacts on my PC and this action also eliminated them on my iphone. Also, my personal contacts on my PC have been completely eliminated. All this occurred yesterday. Today, the same 549 reappeared on both PC and iphone. Not sure what to do next to make sure that everything is safe. Also, is there anyway to retrieve 100's of personal contacts ? Appreciate any help.

You have another support thread over here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1130631 - that sound very related to this question or an extension of that support thread.

What information are you NOT telling us?

The term "contacts" usually relates to email - Firefox doesn't do email, although Firefox will connect to a webmail website and will display and allow the Firefox user to interact with their "emails". But those "contacts" aren't stored in Firefox, they are held in the the email user account on the server that hosts that webmail service.

Then - how do you get Firefox on a PC to have access to anything on an iPhone? Unless you are using the Firefox for iOS app on your iPhone AND have both that Firefox for iOS and the PC using the same Sync account. But even then, how would data that Firefox doesn't even save get synchronized?

Or an I having a "senior moment" and missing something that is painfully obvious?

Doesn't seem even remotely related to Firefox support to me.
