I installed today firefox for mobile 4.0 beta. I give to the program of synchronization all the information (account name, password and secret phrase) but when I open the list of all bookmarks (bookmarks included in my desktop version installed on pc firefox 3.6.10 and firefox sync updated to the last version) I can not see al bookmarks. Really, bookmarks are many and are split into folders, but I can not understand why I can not see all of them. Why?

It might take a while (30 minutes or more) for the initial sync to finish.

When it finishes, here's how to see all you desktop bookmarks:

  1. Press the "Search" button on your Android phone, or tap in the Firefox address bar.
  2. Press the "Bookmarks" button (with a star icon).
  3. Tap the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder.

Yes, I done all this. It takes 2 or 3 minutes, not more. But are the bookmarks split in folders (as in my pc) or I see only a long bookmarks'list? I don't know how many bookmarks I have, but they are thousands, I'm sure: so I can not check if they are all of them or not.

When you tap on the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder, you will see all your bookmarks, split into folders exactly as they are in Firefox on your computer.

You can also search for specific bookmarks. Start typing any word into the Firefox's address bar on your phone, and it will display bookmarks with matching titles, addresses, or tags.

Unfortunately is not as you say. I can't see all my bookmarks split in folders, but only a list without folders and I don't know if they are all bookmarks I have on the pc, because they are many.

I know that I can search for bookmarks but this is not what I'm asking for. My problem is to see al my bookmarks split in folders as I have in my pc!!!!
