How to I restore my backed up bookmarks from the cloud after I reinstalled WIndows?
I had to reinstall my OS, but before I did I synced all of my bookmarks and settings. I copied down the code so when I moved to my fresh installation I could retrieve them. However, when I logged into firefox on the clean install, my bookmarks didn't sync and there was no where to enter my code (which I still have). Can someone help me retrieve my bookmarks?

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
- Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
- Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
- Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
- At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
- Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
- In the new window that appears, click OK.
- Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Firefox Sync changed between Firefox 28 and Firefox 29. I wonder whether it would make sense to install Firefox 28 first, establish the Sync connection to get your data, then update to Firefox 29 again.
If you need an installer for Firefox 28, see this article: Install an older version of Firefox. You don't need to uninstall Firefox 29 to run it.
