All of my data won't sync to my device after I cleaned my Firefox data on my smart phone. I thought it just synced automatically but it's not working, what gives? Or does it only sync with Data from another device? I thought Firefox accounts backed it up for you?

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.
