I setup my firefox account on my laptop because it warned me my hard drive was gonna fail, after doing to I went to sync, it told me to sign in on another device, I did so on another laptop and also and android tablet, however on my account it shows that the laptop originally that all my book marks was on, was last synced 4 days ago along with the android device, but I am not getting those bookmarks on the new Desktop, other laptop, or the android device, this seems utterly useless.

How can I view/access or export the bookmarks that were originally synced with the account?

I can't help with sync, but to protect your data;

Copy your Firefox profile to a good hard drive or thumb drive.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

This is your current profile. Copy the folder As Is to a folder on a thumb drive. Then Copy the folder to the new system.
