Lost all sync information during Developer update

11.11.14
Today Aurora updated to the new Developer version, which is awesome! Except, all of my sync information was lost (bookmarks, add-ons, settings, etc). I tried to set up the sync again, and learned that there is a new version of sync in which you have to create a new account. I created a new account, but that obviously doesn't solve my problem because all of my sync information disappeared once the update was applied. I have been searching the forums and cannot seem to find a solution.
I have gone to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ to find an older version of Firefox to install, sign into sync (old) in order to retrieve my information, then upgrade to my new sync account, but I am not sure how to navigate this directory. Can anyone help me find the installation file for the latest version of Firefox just before the developer version for Windows 8.1? Or if you also have this problem or know of a solution for it, some advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Thank you Philipp! I used the second option listed in the link you posted:
Load about:preferences in Firefox's address bar and make sure the General group is selected.
There you find a new option to "allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time".
Uncheck the option and restart Firefox. It should load the old profile again automatically.
After this, I upgraded to my new sync account. After all of my stored information was synced, I repeated the steps and checked the "allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time" option and restarted Firefox.

My apps were closing for no reason so I decided to close my phone and wait a bit. I turned it on and the apps were fine but when I wanted to make a call i realized that i lost all my contacts. I still have everything in my calendar though. I wasn't doing an update or so. Also, my phone is not synch with my itunes.
Can someone help me?

One of the 3Gs after it spent about 30 minutes in back up mode suddenly said it was unable to back up then i received a plug in to itunes message on it and the message I am receiving is to restore it to factory settings. So i basically lost all my information. I do not want to repeat this fiasco on my husbands phone which contains his business contacts etc. Please help!

Are you syncing anything (contact, calendars) with iCloud?

I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?
I did a reset of my phone yesterday and now when I go to purchaed to download my paurchsed tabs there is nothing there.
I see them in my ipad but they are not in my itunes app section either.
I searched for one in the app store and it usually said "open" or had the cloud icon with the little arrow to downlaod again (free). But none of that shows up at all this time. All the apps that I'm missing show up in the pp store for me to buy again like I never purchased them at all!
What's going on?
I'm missing a ton of apps!
Pleae help me!

I just wanted to add this information to my post:
I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
I want my apps back.
Thanks,
Gaby

If so, you can sync them from there.

Restore the backup you surely made before you updated, as anyone would do before updating any computing device:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

It isn't an issue if you still have the backup, either on your computer or in the iCloud. You cannot restore to a backup that you have deleted.

I don't think so. You should post your question with an informative title, not just "HELP". You may get better replies. Try this "iPhone Accidentally Restored as iPod - Data Lost"

nope, not unless you have the data backed up in iCloud or on a computer.

Does any one know it can I rest my password

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.

I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?

If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

Updated 2.2 Iphone Software and lost all contact information! HELP!!

I have the old 8G Iphone and updated the new 2.2 Iphone software and lost all my contact information,video, pics,etc. I tried to hit restore and it did not bring anything back. Does Itunes save info as a back up? HELP!!

In regards to contact info, the iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Outlook Express, which I believe is named Windows Contacts.
Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer, as with any other digital camera.
Music and video transferred to your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer, and the same for photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone, which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process - if any of the data included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
The backup stores data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, contact info, and photos that were captured by your iPhone, but it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup only for the last two. As already provided, contact info is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer - as with any other digital camera.
You updated to 2.2 from which firmware version, and did you sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before installing firmware update 2.2 to update your iPhone's backup if needed?
You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This will completely erase your iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version, which is 2.2. After 2.2 is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. After your iPhone is restored from your iPhone's backup, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to re-transfer your selected iTunes content from your computer to your iPhone along with any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
If your contact information and photos that were captured by your iPhone are not restored from your iPhone's backup and you didn't sync contact information with a supported application on your computer and you didn't import the photos that were captured by your iPhone, this data will be lost.
