Hi, sorry to hear that. You should be able to recover them from the other device you are Sync'ed with. Since you do not mention another device : It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of these article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
Always backup :

The problem is I synced one computer, then added three more. Sync added it all together and gave me multiple bookmarks for the same site. It I fix one computer, will it transfer to all the others, or will it just add to the others and continue to give me all the bookmarks over and over again?
I would think it probably will. do 1 or the other. I do not use Sync myself. If have a USB drive then :
Can transfer to other Desktops, for mobile, g'luck

You can try to restore the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
- Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Restore
The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once.
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
