Hi stompier

What happens when you try to sync your copy of Firefox for Android?

Maybe I have an android version that is too old. It is the original system that came with my galaxy s5

Ho

Your Android version is fine, but we still need to understand what is happening when you sync. What is not working correctly?

Please can you supply more information?

It is about my bookmarks. Both Bookmarks Menu and bookmark toolbar when i access my Desktop toolbars on my firefox on Android. They do not reflect the lastest cleanup of bookmarks I cleaned up on my PC, They are not in the same order and my firefox on android will not update with the deleted stuff I make on my PC. It has a old bunch of supwer old bookmarks still on android.. My Other Bookmarks option reflects correctly. Also, Where do you find a SYNC NOW button or switch on my android version anywhere? When I click TOOLS I only get Download and Logins as options to pick from and when i click Settings I see a whole bunch of options where I have no idea where SYNC NOW could be if it exists anywhere within. If it exists somewhere within..it sure is not visual enough. Thanks for your help. There should not be a need for manual SYNC input anywhere...it should always be automatic whenever a change is made on any devices..I do not understand...Thanks for your help

Hi

If you select Settings, at the tops of the screen you will see your Firefox Account email address. Tap this and you will see the option to Sync Now which will manually force a Firefox Sync between your devices.

bookmark sync does not work correctly in firefox for android. I have had a similar issue https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1283265 It has to do with the fact ( based on my understanding) that firefox mobile stores bookmarks in a different place than it does on your pc and so the bookmark sync just does not work right. I am currently looking into exploring other options or a fix for this.
