Bookmarks on Android not syncing with Linux PC

Obligatory, I apologize if this question has already been asked or worked out elsewhere. But I have tried searching for a solution on the forums here and not one solution could be found, so here I am:

At the time of setting up my Linux PC for Firefox Sync, I was signed into my Firefox account on my mobile but syncing had been paused on my mobile for some reason or another. No biggie right? Should just be able to enter my credentials into my PC browser and start syncing right away? In the past when I had got signed into sync on the PC, everything across the board would sync as I had just my bookmarks, add ons, and settings set to sync. Bookmarks would load right up, all my add on prompts would open their own tabs to finish setting up, and everything was peachy.

However, when I went to get things setup on my new PC today, using the proper credentials and all kinds of authentication methods, I am able to sign into my firefox account on my PC with no issue, except for the fact that nothing is syncing up with my existing mobile account.

I have done everything I know that is in my power to do, with the exception of reinstalling my mobile app (will lose my bookmarks if I do), I have uninstalled and reinstalled on my laptop, signed out of both devices and signed back in with my account credentials to no avail. I went so far as to just create a new Firefox account with a separate email address, and using the NEW email address when signed into both, I am looking at the "Sync Now" button on my mobile with hatred, because clicking on it literally does nothing. It shows as last synced being "Never". My PC is logged in to Firefox now with the new email address and clicking sync there, it will run through the normal process but as there seems to be no data coming from my my mobile, it syncs nothing. I can see both devices under "Connected Services" as well.

I know I screwed up somewhere and now the entirety of my life's favorite bookmarks and websites are stuck on my phone. To my understanding there is no JSON style file created in Firefox mobile, with no ability to manually export. I am not above manually going line by line through each bookmark and just adding them one at a time into my PC, but I would rather not.

In summary:

- PC is not syncing to mobile bookmarks which are very much still in existence - Creating a new Firefox account and restarting the sync process from scratch does not work - As of creating and logging into the new firefox account, clicking sync does absolutely nothing on mobile, and still shows as having never been synced

SOLVED:

Not sure what triggered the process exactly or if it was just a waiting game. But the minute I added a new bookmark to my empty bookmarks list on my PC, the sync process caught up across both devices and my bookmarks are safe. It seems like probably creating a new Firefox account all together was the catalyst though for anyone struggling with similar issues. I would wager I could now go back and use the former email address but I am not going to venture down that road just yet.
