My bookmarks from my old computer aren't syncing to my new computer. I've opted in to include bookmarks in sync.
My understanding of sync was that I could just sign into my account and it would populate all my bookmarks to my new computer. This hasn't happened. What am I doing wrong? Where do I find them?

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.
You can check the about:sync-log page via the location/address 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.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
