reinstalled Windows, Firefox, how do I retrieve synced bookmarks?
I set up syncing and have a sync key. Now I've reinstalled Windows and Firefox4, but cannot see at all how to retrieve my synced data. When I go to sync, it only gives me the option of adding a new device or setting up a new account, neither of which is what I need to do.

When I get to 4. there is no option to Connect. There is an option to set up Sync. If I press Connect, I get the option that I already have an account. When I click that, I get the Add A Device -- there is no opportunity to enter and e-mail or my sync key. this is the problem.
Can anyone else help? I backed up everything on my computer before reinstalling. Where would I be able to find my old bookmarks, etc?
