Sync e-mail confirmation
Hello! I gladly use Firefox sync on my primary PC with e-mail willyfox569803(anti_bot)@gmail.com; But today I was had to re-install Windows on my parent's PC. To save and restore all their bookmarks, passwords etc I had created a new account with E-mail g2552206(anti_bot)@mvrht.com. I used "Temporary e-mail service", created a FF sync account, signed in, confirmed a "temporary" account and re-installed an OS. Now, when I'm done with re-installing, I had entered sync login [email protected] with its password, but FF asked me to open the sent e-mail to confirm signing in. But now I dont have access to temporary g2552206(anti_bot)@mvrht.com - it was wiped and deleted by temporary email service. Can I now somehow restore my parent's passwords, bookmarks and other things? D: Please, help! I thought there's nothing bad to use a temporary e-mail to save my parent's browser data.
Looking forward for respond on willyfox569803(anti_bot)@gmail.com

I have called for more help for you. I don't use sync.
Sync is meant to share settings and other information between several devices. Not as a backup.
You should use an external hard drive or thumb to save important data for just such a problem.
Please do not post addresses, phone numbers or e-mails. There are 'spam robots' that can grab them.

had to re-install Windows
Depending on how this was done, the old data might have been saved. Search your hard drive for something like; Old Windows.
Thank you for calling for more help.
If I use an external drive for backup, I can only export and back up browser bookmarks, not sessions\cookies, passwords and other settings. Or don't I know something?
Thank you for advance for e-mails. I had changed e-mails to avoid spam-bots.
Nope, there's no data on HDD, it was totally wiped. I may use some file recover software like Recuva, but I dont think it would help.

If you backup the full profiles folder, it can be restored.
