I do not personally use Sync, but when you connect a new Firefox to your existing Firefox Account, your new Firefox is supposed to start getting your old data automatically. Or maybe I missed something:

How do I set up Sync on my computer? - "Connect additional devices to Sync" section of the article

Thank you ... I already did that but after my old data was gone :( But thanks anyway :)

Note that requesting a new password because you forgot it or changing the password for the Firefox Sync account will wipe all data stored on the Sync server and you won't be able to retrieve data that was stored previously. Best is always to backup your personal data locally to be sure to be able to recover from issues.

OOPS! yes i requested a new password :(

No You cant after installing new windows it wipes clean everything. History, bookmarks and everything that you have saved.
