I refreshed Firefox on my Mac laptop. Shortly afterwards I noticed that the bookmarks stopped syncing between my laptop and desktop Macs. Both computers are signed in to my account with syncing on and I have tried the "Sync Now" prompt several times. Any suggestions for somebody with very little computer skills? Thanks.

Thanks but not being much of a tech guy, I'm more afraid of the possible loss of data if I do that then I'm worried about the loss of syncing.

I found an easy fix. Turned sync off on both computers, restarted Firefox on both computers, turned sync back on and it started working again.
