Fresh installed firefox overwritten my old sync
Hey everyone.
I decided to make a fresh windows install, and when i installed firefox as allways i logged in.
Normally when i have logged in on a fresh installation of firefox it startes with the sync and getting all my old booksmarks, add-ons, passwords etc. but this time i didn't.
I thought that was weird but didn't pay mind to it, i thought i might have needed some time to sync. After 4 hours nothing has happended yet.
things i have tried:
- Pressing Sync now under my profile
- Pressing sync now under settings
- Going to help - more techinical information - Databasen Places - Confirm integrety
The result was:

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.

Okay, i might have another PC that is still logged in somewhere, this could properly help me.
Thanks for your answer.
