The other day my computer crashed, causing me to reinstall Windows 10. I also had to reinstall Firefox, once I did that I tried to get my old bookmarks back through Sync, well it didn't work it seems, I was curious if there is any way to get my old bookmarks back? if so any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure they are on a server somewhere surely? right?

There nothing that can be done if you didn't backup your bookmark to a USB drive or other storage medium then everything is gone. Sync only works if your were syncing on regular schedule to have it saved on another device. If this wasn't done then nothing was sync to restore the data.

Do you have a C:\Windows.old folder that could possibly contain your old Firefox profile folder?
