How do I import the bookmarks from the Firefox browser on my old computer to Firefox on my new computer?

I had to wipe my old Windows operating system from my hard drive, and I've installed Linux instead. I did not physically back up my bookmarks before wiping, but I am hoping that they will be preserved somewhere with Mozilla's cloud storage. I would like at the very least to be able to import them to the Firefox browser on my Linux system, or, better yet, to import them to Google Chrome. Are either of these possible? Essentially, I'm wondering if these bookmarks have been saved by Mozilla externally, and if so, how do I retrieve them? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

You might have saved your bookmarks to the cloud if you set up Firefox Sync. In order to access your Firefox Sync account, you usually either need another device already set up to access your Sync account or a "recovery key" that is displayed on screen during account setup. Does any of that sound familiar?

If not, did you back up any of your hard drive before wiping? In particular, your Firefox data is stored in your user profile folder. Depending on your version of Windows:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox...
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox...

Were you using Firefox Sync? (Mozilla's "cloud")
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync

If so, do you know the email address you used to sign up for Sync with, the chosen password for the Sync account, and the Sync Key / Recovery Key assigned to that account?

If not, do you have another device running on Firefox Sync and with that account - which you can retrieve those three thing from?
