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.
Ah ok it is not a big deal to me. I didn't have there anything so important... Very confusing tho... It is nowhere explained... All browsers are horrible don't allow to manage tabs/bookmarks/windows in any way and their design didn't change since 1999. But we live in infomation age, which leads to tab overloard, yet nothing was done. "human stupidity is infinite" - Einstein...
What the heck, firefox suggest me website from history before i reinstalled pc. I uncheck all sync options, disconnected, signed off and deleted forms and browsing history for all times. And yet it suggest sites i visited in past - strange! I want this off!
EDIT: oh it is bookmarks, i knew it was weird, never mind...
