hello arturs.lielpeteris, firefox 29 and upwards is using a different sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set-up in older versions.

in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...

If you haven't already updated your Sync account, you need to install Firefox 28, then connect to Sync. Once all your data is sync'd back to that device, update back to Firefox 32, and then update your Sync account to the new Firefox Accounts that is used in Firefox 29-plus versions. 

If you have updated your Sync account, that Recovery Key isn't needed. All you need is the email address for that Firefox Account and the correct Password.
