I reinstalled the OS 'cause of problems with my PC. New Firefox has no sync by a Firefox Sync key. How can I take my bookmarks back?

in this case you'd probably have to download the prior firefox version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...

Install an older version of Firefox

Should be able to go to the little icon on the top right and see a little section that says Sign in near the bottom of the drop down menu.

The problem that there's only a new sync, and my bookmarks was synchronized by the old one (that used a Firefox Sync Key).
