Hi, don't know exactly what you've tried, so a couple of ideas: Open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore, and see if you have a backup there.
If not, please see -

Sorry, the old Firefox Sync that used the Recovery Code isn't compatible with Firefox 29 and later versions. plus the old Sync 1.1 server was shut down close to a year ago, so even an olde version couldn't be sued to recover Sync data now.
If you upgraded to Windows 10 from an older version of Windows, are you sure that Windows didn't create a backup automatically? Or maybe that was an option that some other users mentioned; and they were able to recover some or all of their Firefox data, iirc.
BTW, using Sync in lieu of a real data backup isn't an intended use of Sync. Some people have made it work, but the nature of a support forum is to hear from users who didn't "make it work". One way or another, they made a mistake and managed to lose all their data from Sync.
