Can I restore accidentally deleted internet history through firefox sync?
Somehow all my internet history got deleted. However, I was synced with firefox sync, so shouldn't all that history be on the server? Is it possible to restore that history using firefox sync?
Thanks

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.
You would need an older backup copy of places.sqlite to recover lost history because Firefox doesn't keep a backup for the history like there is for bookmarks via the bookmarkbackups folder.
