So my hard drive died. I cannot get to the files (at all). I synced my Mozilla bookmarks with my phone and can still view my desktop bookmarks. Anyway that I can re-sync them, or email them from my phone to my computer?
Thanks, CW

This is a bit of an experimental area.
Do you have any record of the Recovery Key for your Sync account? This would let you connect your computer to the existing account. (How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?)
Assuming you do not have access to the recovery key for your existing Sync account, check out this recent thread on sync'ing with a NEW Sync account as a way to get the bookmarks out of your Android device:How to export forefox for android bookmarks without sync (scrolldown to the post by nalexander). Unfortunately, the description is not very thorough.

If your phone is an android phone then you can try the following. Feature to sync another device has now moved from Firefox Settings to Android -> Accounts -> Sync . One can pair multiple devices using options in the latter menu.
wait so if I go System Settings > Accounts & sync > Firefox > Pair a Device then it will sync my old desktop bookmarks with my new desktop?
Also, how do I find the Recovery Key for my Sync account?
Please help!
Thanks.
You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).
I'm sorry. I'm very confused though... Can someone please explain a little more indepth. I am afraid to try because I do not want to loose all of my bookmarks!
Thanks, Waldoctg
Anyone? :)
