My PC crashed and I lost my data. Because my Nexus is still synced I thought I could connect my new system easily. however I wasn't able to find a possibility to type the code displayed in my desktop browser or to retrieve the key to restore my account... Can someone give me a hint??

hello, on your android device go into the system settings > accounts & synchronisation > Firefox sync > add device (I'm using a non-english system so the actual labels might differ a bit). from there it should be possible to link your computer to the account with the 12-digit key.
