Unless you have a backup of your profile folder then you probably have lost the logins and yoiu will have to reset the password for these websites.

Are there other devices still connected to that Firefox account ?

Note that Sync isn't designed to be used as a backup, but is merely meant to sync data between connected devices. Best is always to backup your personal data locally.
