You need to connect the new device to Sync using the same email address and password.
If both devices are desktop devices then you you can use a removable USB drive to backup and restore the bookmarks.
You can transfer more data this way.

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed from one profile folder to the profile folder on another device to transfer your personal data. Note that best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder and only restore important files that are safe to restore/transfer.
