I'm assuming we are talking about one computer here, as in you reinstalled Windows on one computer, not that you reinstalled Windows on a new computer and are trying to sync bookmarks between the two computers?

If that's the case, Firefox Sync is not intended to be a data backup service, so it doesn't always work well for that purpose.

If you don't have your bookmarks synced on another computer that you still have access to, this it's unlikely that you will be able to recover your data from Firefox Sync.

In that case, unfortunately it's unlikely that you will be able to recover your bookmarks. Firefox Sync is not a backup service.

Sorry.
