Is it possible to restore your History if a remote support tech "resets your browser" while you're signed into Firefox Sync?

I was having trouble sending a large email so I contacted my ISP via chat. I gave him remote access but I thought he would let me know what he was going to do if it was anything drastic. I would've signed out of Sync if I knew he was going to clear my History, but he did it before I had a chance to stop him. I was able to restore my Bookmarks via Sync, but not my History. Is it lost and gone forever? Thanks!

This is all I can give you. Others will answer you soon.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
