Moved to different pc, logged into my account, all bookmarks gone. What is going on? The sync even synced with empty bookmarks, and I guess everything I bookmarked is gone now.

Sync is not a back-up service. Where is the old pc? Can you see the old pc in your account? https://accounts.firefox.com

Did not know that. Remember that sometimes in the past I was able to somehow just sync and get my bookmarks. Anyways. No old pc there, and I have places.sqlite from old pc. If that helps.

Rename the current one in your profile folder and then past the old one, restart Firefox, and cross fingers.
