In order to upgrade my computer from Windows xp to Windows 7, I lost access to firefox without thinking to generate a recovery key. Is there any way to get my data back?

If the only thing you have paired to the account is an iPhone the answer is that unfortunately no. The iPhone client (Firefox Home) is just a "consumer" of the Sync data and can't do much.

My best advice is to keep the iPhone synced to have access to bookmarks and manually transfer them to your new profile.

Sorry to be the carrier of the bad news.
