HI bb115, Thank you for your question, I understand that bookmarks from the pc are not syncing to the mobile device. I am happy to help. Do note that the bookmarks will be in a folder titled "Desktop Bookmarks" when you search through the existing bookmark on the mobile device. This will happen only if the device has successfully synced and connected to the sync account.
Try this:
- From the mobile device, remove the Firefox account from the list of accounts in the Android Settings
- Open a new tab in Firefox for Android
- Navigate to accounts.firefox.com
- Sign into the Sync Account
- Next go back to the list of accounts in the Android settings
- Tap on Firefox Sync and turn on "Auto Sync" from Data Usage
- Restart the app
Are the bookmarks there?
Did as instructed but no 'Desktop Bookmarks' folder shown in mobile app
Hi bb1153, My apologies in delay in response: Do you have more than 5k bookmarks in desktop? And have you ran a places maintenance on you desktop bookmarks?
I ask this because it may be you are hitting the limit, there might be a corruption in the places.sqlite file on desktop: Can tell by looking at the desktop sync logs:
- How do I turn on sync logs:
- Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
- Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
- Logs and error messages will be located here
