I am unable to sync my firefox bookmarks to my moto bionic, I setup sync to my xoom and am unable to retrieve the sync key from firefox on xoom. There is no option to manage my account in the sync prefs.

Mozilla doesn't save that key, only the user has it. Take a look at Sync preferences on the desktop version of Firefox where you have that Sync account setup to see your SyncKey.

The sync key is listed in the Saved Passwords which can be found at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Security%20panel it will be listed as chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase) then click the show passwords button to view the sync key.
