A few days ago I had reformatted Linux Mint, not thinking if I could (or/would) be able to reconnect to firefox sync afterwards. I know the password for the email address (lotrdbzfan@gmail.com), I just don't have any 2FA codes. Anyway my 2FA could temp be disabled?..... Linux Mint 20, Cinnamon firefox v82 (64bit)

No, without an app to generate the TOTP code of recovery codes you can use instead, your only option is to create a new account with a different email address.
