I have synced my FF with my nexus 4. Now I have a new laptop (earlier one crashed) with Windows7 Enterprise edition. How can I get my bookmarks / passwords restored in my laptop? I have checked the Forum, but there is no straight reply. Please help in restoring the FF.

you must open your account in firefox on your laptop and syncronize it. See How do I choose what information to sync on Firefox?

You will need to get the Sync code from your Android device https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_get-the-code-on-an-android-device

Then enter the code from Android in the desktop set up sync area. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync#w_part-3-connect-your-other-device-to-your-sync-account

When I go to FF in my Nexus, it is not showing any option to see the code! Instead it just shows the accounts which is getting synced. Can you explain a bit more. The above links is not showing any such info!
