I have been using firefox sync since couple of years. I have formatted my laptop recently and since then I had been trying to set up the sync using my earlier account. But I don't remember which email address I gave for this. I remember the master password I used to protect my passwords. Is there a way using which i can regain all my bookmarks? Thank you very much for the help in advance.

You can have the password reset and have the server send you a new password, but that won't help if you do not have a backup of the sync key.
Without the sync key you can no longer access the data that is stored on the sync server.
