Synching across several devices

Hello All -

Over the years I have saved many bookmarks across several different devices. Therefore the bookmarks vary between devices. Is there any way that I can tidy up my bookmarks, deleting many of them, on my main machine and then have all the other devices Synch to that list only?

I have tried deleting ALL the bookmarks on the "subsidiary" devices and then synched them but that didn't work. I think I'm asking whether one device can be made the "master" for all the others to Synch to that one and none of the others.

Hope that's reasonably clear.

Thanks,

Ian.

It should sync to other devices. As a test, bookmark this page on your toolbar, then wait for it to appear on the other device, then delete it from this device, and then wait for it to go away on the other. The screenshots are a test I did for another users. I was syncing between Waterfox and Firefox.

It is worth noting that we do not support Waterfox on this forum. Firefox Sync worked very well between copies of Firefox on different devices, such as between Firefox for desktop and Firefox on a mobile device.
