Hi vegetagaru, I do not know if this will work, because I have not tried it, but you may need to install the old sync to recover the data from the old account. If you have your recovery key handy Install an older version of Firefox and login to the account.

If that is successful you can try the new sync Sync your Firefox bookmarks, history, passwords and more
