I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks. Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more

Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
