I have a new computer that I want to sync my bookmarks to. I don't remember my password or recovery key (if I have one). I don't want to lose my bookmarks. How can I save them if my account gets reset and they are deleted?

If you still have access to the old device then you should be okay since you can reset the password of the Sync account and do the initial Sync on the old device again.

Another option is to use a removable USB drive to transfer your personal data directly.

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed from the profile folder on the old device to the profile folder on the new device to transfer your personal data. Note that best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder and only restore important files that are safe to restore/transfer.
