Want old Firefox data, old PC is dead, new recovery keys will delete old data on server.
I set up Sync on my now unusable hard drive, with all my Firefox goodies on it. I'm now on a different hard drive but when I try to set up Sync and retrieve my old data, it says I need a recovery key. I cant get one so it generates one but the new one apparently will delete the old data that I want making Sync pointless. How do I access my old data without a key?
I was and am now running Firefox 28.0 on both hard drives.
