Since mid-December, Firefox is unable to sync data.

As title.

Around mid-December, various issues occurred with Firefox. Around December 18th, after reinstalling Firefox, I found that I could no longer recover synchronized data from the server, including bookmarks, extensions, and all other synchronized items.

What could be the cause, and how can this be resolved? Could Mozilla have changed any policies that restrict the synchronization function?

Is your data on another device? Sync info... FYI... Firefox Sync IS NOT A DATA BACKUP SERVICE https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-choose-what-information-sync-firefox https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/sync/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/11/firefox-sync-privacy/ Sync is not a backup tool but it is a good sync/transfer/move tool https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/707681
