Both Nexus 7 and HTC Evo 3d with latest version of Firefox are no longer syncing bookmarks between multiple PC desktops or between each other. Top Sites and History sync as they should from the PC's to the Android devices. Only the Bookmarks are not syncing.

Firefox on the PC's sync Bookmarks between each other as they should. Adding a Bookmark on the mobile devices does not show up under the Mobile Bookmarks on the PC's. Or visa versa.

I have removed and reinstalled Firefox. Unlinked and relinked sync on all devices. This just started to happen in the last few days.

Hi markginz, When you relinked the device how did you sign into the account? Did you use the menu settings or firefox.accounts.com?

It is possible to see if there are any errors as well, just attach the devices and wait for a bit for it to sync. How do I turn on sync logs:

  1. Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
  2. Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
  3. Logs and error messages will be located here

Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharing any errors that relate to this issue.

Thank you.

I relinked the devices through the menu settings.

It is only Bookmarks that are not syncing. The PC's (3) sync correctly. The two Android devices do not sync down or up to the PC's.

Top Sites, History and Recent Tabs sync between all.

I have tried to fix by starting a new account, with no success.

Hey so after talking to the #sync if you can take a look at the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Firefox_for_Android this would be helpful, (email also rnewman@mozilla.com) with the logs with reference to this thread :-)

Same problem here: 5 PC's sync correctly. Galaxy S2 does not sync bookmarks, neither up nor down. However, Top Sites, History and Recent Tabs do sync between all. I deleted cache and data, even reinstalled the app, but without success.

Question: guigs2 advised to turn on error logs: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess = true services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks = debug This is meant for the desktop version of Firefox, isn't it?

Now, should I paste the content of my log files here , too?

Many thanks.
