I am trying to sync between two Android devices. History works in both directions, but synching bookmarks only works in one direction. I have tried all of the tips and tried reinstall to no avail. Any help? Thanks!

The proper way to resolve this issue 1. login to your Firefox devices and remove all devices from the Firefox profile.

2. login to your Firefox account on both your android devices and let them sync.

hope this will resolve your issue

Hi

I understand that Firefox Sync did not connect to your mobile device on this occasion, but hopefully I should be able to help you force a Sync event to take place.

Assuming you have connected the same Sync account on both your mobile and desktop copies of Firefox:

In Firefox on your mobile device:

  1. Go into the Settings menu and select Firefox Account.
  2. Tap on Synchronise now.

This will “force” a synchronisation of the data that is on the local device storage.

This is between my phone and tablet. No notebook or desktop is involved and 'Synchronise Now' does nothing.

I did all that AND connected my laptop to the Firefox account. Somewhere in all of that, everything finally synced up. Thanks!
