How can I sync my bookmark TAGS? I can sync bookmarks but tags are what really matter.

I just performed a sync between laptops and noticed that the tags did not sync although my bookmarks did. Also, I didn't see the option to sync tabs in my firefox sync preference list. I'm hoping I can sync tags because otherwise, just the bookmarks alone aren't useful. Thanks

You can try the following:

  1. Open the Firefox Bookmarks Library
  2. From the Import and Backup button, select Export bookmarks to HTML...
  3. Save to file to an external storage device (USB, etc.) or online storage service (Google Drive, etc.)
  4. Transfer the file to the new computer
  5. Open the Firefox Bookmarks Library on the new computer
  6. For the Import and Backup button, select Import bookmarks from HTML...

Did this work? Please report back soon.

Thanks for this suggestion - this would work great for a migration from one computer to another. However, I should have been more specific that I still use both computers. Therefore I'm hoping to find a solution that will continue to sync my Firefox tags back and forth on both computers. Is this possible?

Firefox Sync is supposed to sync bookmark tags, according to this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-sync-take-your-bookmarks-and-tabs-with-you#w_how-much-of-my-data-is-synced . So you may have discovered a glitch or bug that emerged recently. Can you confirm that you didn't lose tags on the original source installation of Firefox?

(Also, I don't think the "Export" feature, which creates an HTML file in an ancient format, preserves tags. You would want to use the more modern "Backup" feature to create a JSON-format file to ensure that.)
