Hi

Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.

It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.

If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.

how i can find if i have a copy of firefox profile?also i have not any google bookmark.also why when after reisntallation of firefox appears automatically the addons( obviously sync) and not bookmark?

seburo you are wrong.firefox sync sync bookmarks like xmark and other addons

You can open about:sync-log via the location bar to see if there are recent error logs available. You can upload a recent log if the log is too big to put in a reply.

I posted in another thread that there might be problems with the places.sqlite database. I will repeat this suggestion posted there:

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

• use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

Click on the 3-bar menu (those three horizontal lines in the upper right corner, right under the closing 'X'). At the the bottom, click on the question mark (?) Then click on 'Troubleshooting Information' Scroll all the way down to 'Places Database' => Integrity And there you'll see 'Verify Integrity'.

thank you

You're more than welcome  ! Pretty confusing and daunting stuff, eh  ? Especially when it's in a foreign language.

Going over all your current threads : wouldn't it be the best and easiest solution for you to set up a Sync account  ? I'm not so confident about any of these extensions working properly any time soon.

Sometimes it takes Sync awhile for the sort order to be accomplished on a "new device" / fresh installation. Open and close Firefox a few times, or wait a few days.
