How can I restore my bookmarks with old Firefox Sync?
I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks. Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more
Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync wasn't intended to be a data storage cloud. It was created to keep multiple Firefox installations synchronized.

i have similar problem (i formatted my computer and needed to restore my FF profile, but i was active), i ended up running old firefox from portableapps, downloading the old profile and import the important files to the new firefox sync. thanks
