Did you create an HTML backup or a JSON backup ?

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) you can import an HTML backup to merge them with existing bookmarks.

Restoring a JSON backup replaces all current bookmarks, so you need to export to HTML beforehand and restore this backup afterward.

I'm not sure what you did reset. If you did reset the password of the Sync account then data on the Sync server got wiped and is no longer accessible.

If you still use the same Firefox profile then you should have automatically created JSON backups available.
