HI Maryam Hasan, Firefox Sync is not meant to be a back up, I apologize if the bookmarks are not syncing, do you have a back up of them from before the wipe?

Also check:

  1. Look in Unsorted Bookmarks. Is anything else from your old profile syncing? (e.g., history)
  2. Were you ever syncing your bookmarks. See if the checkbox is checked in Preferences.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.
