I want clear instructions on how to use Sync to backup my single Firefox computer

All I want is for my FF bookmarks etc to be sync'd to your server so when I need to reinstall my system, they are easily reloaded. But how????? Syncing seems obsessed with multiple computers. That's not how most users use it. They want to backup their single computer.

I have an account but when I go to tools/sync I'm asked to setup sync or pair a device. I don't want either, I want to see what my backup is like, how up-to-date it isa and check it is all there before I reinstall my system.

If this is not what sync is for, where is the option to backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks and history please?

And for God's sake stop going on about pairing a device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and when I click the option to automatically collect info on my setup a pop-up says Firefox has blocked Mozzilla.......

hello, firefox sync is not designed as a backup service but to keep multiple devices on the same level. if you want to create a backup of your firefox configuration, it's better to backup your profile folder: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

Alternatively, you can use the FEBE extension to back up your bookmarks, passwords, and more. Just remember to save that backup somewhere outside of your computer (like on a flash drive or an external hard drive) before you reinstall your system.
