Make sure that you are using the exact key without any space at the end.

Unfortunately, if you did change that Key or the one that you have copied is not exactly the one that was used to encrypt your data, you can not recover it and you will need to set up Firefox Sync again.

It's always a good idea to back up your profile before reinstalling the OS. Firefox Sync is not designed as a back-up service.

Sorry about it.
