why is firefox not the same when viewed on different operating systems

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

I am sorry if I have not understood, but I don't know what screenshot should be sent. The initial page of Firefox is the same in both of the distros, and it is only when clicking on bookmarks in the menu bar that I discover that one has my saved bookmarks and the other does not.

Thanks for your help.

Did you copy the bookmarks to the other Linux setup?
