Desktop browser: no Bookmarks Phone browser: Bookmarks Goal: Sync phone browser Bookmarks to desktop browser Bookmarks. Danger: backup Bookmarks before Sync syncs wrong way and no data wipes data device.

Desktop browser sync prompt is wrong: Menu -> tap Sync and save data -> tap Ready to Scan -> scan desktop Firefox QR code -> Pairing unsuccessful. Try again. OK

Here's the correct steps: Sync your Firefox experience -> tap I already have Firefox for mobile -> tap Continue -> Sync Firefox on your phone or tablet -> open Firefox 144.1 (62735) on phone -> tap Menu (3 dots at bottom) -> tap Settings -> tap Sync Now -> desktop Firefox -> open new Tab -> Bookmarks appear -> right click Import bookmarks from another browser to Firefox -> tap Remove from Toolbar.

Hello, Bookmarks and Sync is still a mess on Firefox and needs the backup protection. Search results say to sync the bookmarks, however my question is about backing up before the sync, as unclear syncs can wipe Bookmarks from device1 when device2 has no data, and incorrectly syncs in the wrong direction. Desktop is easy to just copy paste the bookmarks file, but how to copy/paste a backup on iOS? I might post another question regarding the incorrect Firefox 142.0.1 (aarch64) desktop instructions currently prompting on the browser.

So bookmark syncing doesn’t really sync, correct? That is, bookmarks you create on a mobile device go to Mobile Bookmarks and those created on a computer go to Desktop Bookmarks? Sheesh, what’s the point? That wasted a lot of my time and energy.
