Lost my mac and had to format PC. How can I access all my data?

I setup Firefox sync on a macbook some time ago (I don't remember exactly when). I then added a PC laptop about a year ago and the 2 were syncronising perfectly. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, my mac laptop was stolen so I was left with only the PC. I have just been forced to format the PC due to numerous problems but assumed that I would be able to reinstall Firefox and re-sync all my bookmarks, etc.
However, on trying to connect to Sync, it kept giving me an account error and saying that it couldn't connect. I wanted to reset the password but saw that it would have deleted all the data on the server so didn't do this. I then tried to add a new account which it appeared to let me do using the same email address I had used before but I still don't have access to my bookmarks, etc. The mac had been backed up onto an external hard drive using Time Machine but until I can replace the mac, I am unable to access the hard drive as it is not readable by the PC system.
I'm desperate not to lose many years of bookmarks, I would have backed everything up separately had I known this was going to be an issue.
If anyone is able to help, give me any advice, suggestions, etc, I would be most grateful! Many thanks in advance!

Sorry, going to create a "new" account using the same username (email address) deleted your data from the Sync servers the same as if you had requested a new Password.
My advice is to ask a Mac-owner friend for help by the friend connecting that external drive to their Mac and accessing your Time Machine backups and then copying that data to a USB Flash stick. Either all your backup data, which you can pick thru; or have the friend look specifically for your Firefox bookmark related files.
'''places.sqlite''' = file where bookmarks are stored
'''bookmarks-''yyyy''-''mm''-''dd''-###.json''' = bookmarksbackup files
''[year-month-day-count number of bookmarks in the file]''
