The computer name and logon user name shouldn't make a difference to Sync. The Sync user name (email address) and password is what you need to be able to connect to Sync.
I used the same login as previous.. So why not its showing my bookmarks.?
Did you reset the password of the Firefox account or did you still remember the password?
The new Sync version used in Firefox 29 and later still uses a Sync key to encrypt data locally before uploading, but this Sync key is generated internally from the password of your Firefox account, so you no longer need to worry about it. This also means that the Sync key changes when you change (reset) the password of the Firefxo account and you lose all data stored on the Sync server when doing that.
