Well, actually, the title already said everything. I have tons of important bookmarks in my account and I can't access it, it says "Unknown account.". I know my password and the recovery key, also. I ever was able to do it, but, now, I can't! Also, if possible, after recovering it, I want to change the e-mail address... PLEASE, SAVE ME!

I think I got it: I just installed an old version of Firefox and sync it like the old times. Now I'm gonna sync it in the new way. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Thank you, the-edmeister, for trying to help.

I already tried to create a new account in the old one to see if it would sync in a new way or something, STILL, I CAN'T SEE MY BOOKMARKS!

I already saw this and that's exactly what I did. Seems like I re-created my account over the old one, instead. And like I said, I tried to login on it and it says my account doesn't exist. I don't really know what's happening!
