Synced Tabs from other device did show till yesterday but no longer showing

It just says "connect another device"

My other device had to be 'factory reset' but that was some time ago (nearly a month) and the tabs from it were still showing till yesterday in my main device, Now they've disappeared, is there a way to get those tabs back??

I read somewhere that those tabs are maybe on the Firefox server, is there a way to access those???

Chosen solution

Not that anybody bothered to answer my question here, but I found a solution and sharing below in case anyone facing a similar problem needs help.

First, open your Firefox account on Desktop

Open this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1293198

see the last comment under it by user "cor-el" which mentions installing the About Sync extension. Install that extension, then close Firefox and then open it again (I've read that the extension doesn't work if you don't restart Firefox)

write about:sync in the address bar, hit enter

open a new tab and go to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50829318/export-synced-tabs-in-firefox

Follow the instructions on that page.

As it says on that page, copy-paste the list of your tabs in MS Word or Notepad or whichever text-editor you prefer.
