Hi, I had to reset my laptop because of some issues so I had to reinstall Firefox again. I've lost my history, bookmarks, add-ons etc. I looked around in the forums and it looks like I need a Sync account to save my settings but I didn't have one! Chrome was able to save everything. Is there anyway I can get my preferences back?

Sorry, if you don't have a backup of your Profile folder, then no.

btw, Sync wasn't intended to do that. It is for synchronizing user data between multiple devices. Sync isn't the same thing as what Chrome does.

You can use FEBE to create such a backup to prevent such a loss in future.
