The problem is - I cant recover my data from server. I have my "Sync Key", and I have used it several times before, but now Firefox says that its wrong. Are "sync key" and "recovery key" two names of one key or its two different keys?

There is no difference between tho two names, they both refer to the sync key that is used to encrypt data locally before sending it to the sync server.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I will try this, but can I sync my notebook, laptop and desktop all at the same time?
