I uninstalled and then reinstalled FF on one desktop. I turned on SYNC after reinstall. NOTHING is brought into the reinstalled FF. I can see the different accounts I have synced, and one of them matches the name of the laptop with last sync from 14 days ago. HOW do I get FF to pull all that data into the new FF install and not keep any of the data it has for SYNC (which is mostly nothing) now?

I want to ignore the one from 5 minutes ago and replace with ALL the data from the one last synced from 10 days ago.

I thought maybe connecting through my VPN might be the culprit. Connected to internet without my work VPN and NOW my firefox is syncing.

Hope this helps anyone else that runs into this!
