I appear to have my bookmarks duplicated. Bookmark Menu list of bookmarks, bookmark 1

                                                           bookmark 2
                                                           bookmark 3 etc
                                                           ........
                                                           bookmark 1
                                                           bookmark 2
                                                           bookmark 3 etc

At a glance, the repeated bookmarks are the same, but I could have filed a new bookmark in either set. What can I do to stop these duplicates?

I use several devices with Firefox installed and I find that sync is not always "sync"-ing, or at least not very often. I can confirm I am logged-in the browsers. I do tend to leave my laptops in sleep mode and maybe sync is triggered only at browser closing? Whatever the case, I end up having bookmarks that I deleted from another machine still persisting on another for some reason or adding a bookmark on one laptop and not having it on another even hour later. Would you please take into account the option to sync at certain intervals like minutes, hours etc and let the user pick how often they want this?

Thanks! Constantin

I have 4 macbooks and iphone w. about 10000-19000 bookmarks. Last n. I noticed what I bookmarked on 1 machine wouldn't show on another. A pop up said "your profile has reached a limit. A device can have ony one identity..make another (sic)...." I did that, and found the bookmarks from "classic" profile, WHICH I'VE HAD ABOUT 20 YEARS, weren't imported. I uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox, managed to get the bookmarks back via a desktop folder I'd made, thank god! It didn't restore the 50 passwords, and still won't accept the previous password..which is another can of worms-it actually won't let me change my p/w w.o "you may lose your personal bookkmarks passwords etc!:" Even the 32 digit code (which I had saved) is not working...and it doesn't let you get another one unless you have a p/w!!!! Is this sounding a vicious circle....I am going to not use sync or another profile, b'c I'd rather keep my personal data (bookmarks) and rightnow, I was able to 'restore' to the original profile!!

Hi, my PC had some hardware problem and al its data was wiped as procedure, so i had to install everything from zero, this includes Firefox, and when i did so i did the same as usual, download it, open it and log in to sync my data, but there seems to be a problem, all my data is gone, it says its synced and i try to sync it many times, no bookmarks, no extensions, no passwords, nothing, this is my only account too. tried to look up solutions online and saw people talk about 'old Firefox data' folder that can appear on the desktop but nothing for me, tried to go to about:profiles and see what profiles i had and switch to see if its in any or if the folder appears but still nothing, i don't seem to find a solution, i only got the PC back at the end of December last year, and its as far as i can see my Firefox activity here, but I've always used this account and I've synced in multiple PC's with no problem i don't understand what is happening now. thank you

One time after renstall firefox i lost my password... . they didnt sync. Today i lost my recent tab. Today i opened firefox and a saw a lot of tat without information that they were like blank page. I thought Firefox had crashed and I closed it and opened it again. And I saw Firefox open without any tab. In the history section, I followed the last Windows and tabs, but it was a one site, not all my tabs. What are you doing in Firefox? Damage to your User Information?

I've been using Firefox on Android for a couple of years. I love the way it collapses open tabs that have not been accessed for a while. I had maybe 40 of them that I refer back to from time to time.

Last night I opened Firefox to look something up and I had zero open tabs. I did nothing, nothing crashed, no error messages, no upgrades (that I'm aware of), nothing - just two years of collected reference material gone.

I use my Mozilla account to sync to my desktop browser (version 147.0.4 on Debian 13.3) and they're gone from there too.

Is there any chance I can get them back?

Version 147.0.4 from the Google Play Store on a Pixel 8 Pro with stock Android 16 and the January 5, 2026 security update.
