   Ugh, I signed in to a Mozilla website and it just deleted all my bookmarks and settings from my browser! I hate this so much.

     Does anyone know how I can get my bookmarks and settings back? I didn't tell it to sync, I just signed in to a Mozilla website and Firefox just decided to overwrite everything 😡😡

     @golemwire Also probably signing into a Mozilla website enabled Firefox's "Sync" feature or whatever they call it, which is probably what caused this.

     @golemwire Settings, no idea, for bookmarks https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them might help.

     Thanks to @arraybolt3 I was able to fix the issue. Honestly I overreacted when the website I was using was able to change my settings and bookmarks, it shouldn't be able to do that without a good prompt from the browser and outside of the website view....
     Also Firefox Sync didn't *replace* my bookmarks anyway, but *merged*.

     That said, my settings are still messed up, but thankfully my carefully created site cookie whitelist wasn't deleted from. So there's that!

     I feel like every time I get this suddenly upset at a good or service, it ends up being an overreaction
