How can I reinstll Firefox account on a computer I deleted it from?

I installed a Firefox account on my original computer (an iMac) and on a PC laptop using the same name and password. When I synced the two, the bookmarks on the iMac (running Yosemite) Firefox would not transfer to the PC Firefox (running Windows 10). Trying to fix it, I deleted the account from the PC Firefox. Now I can't get any Firefox account back on the PC again. My goal is to get the Firefox bookmarks synced on the two computers.

Hi sdlwood , Keep a back up of your profile on the PC.Manually back up and restore Firefox profile data

Then, first remove the account listed in the sync preferences. [about:preferences#sync] and click "Disconnect"

Then go to accounts.firefox.com and sign in with the account that is also attached to the imac.

Click Tools > Sync Now
