I am trying to sync my bookmarks and saved passwords. The last time I did a sync the information in my Android cell phone was synced to my Windows 10 PC. However, I use my Windows 10 PC as my main entry point. When I did the above-mentioned sync, some old information on my Android cell was transferred to my Windows 10 PC (which I no longer wanted to save / sync) and new information that I had entered on my Windows 10 PC was no longer available on either my Windows 10 PC or Android cell. Therefore my question - how do I sync FROM my Windows 10 PC TO an Android cell? That is, I want the bookmarks and passwords on my Windows 10 PC to remain the same and that information to replace everything on my Android cell. All help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Please note that the process below will overwrite any existing bookmarks and passwords on your Android device, so make sure to backup any data you want to keep before starting the sync.

To sync your Firefox bookmarks and passwords from your Windows 10 PC to your Android device, you will need to:

1)Make sure that you are using the latest version of Firefox on both your PC and your Android device. 2)Sign in to your Firefox account on both your PC and your Android device. 3)On your PC, open the Firefox menu and click on "Options". 4)Click on "Sync" in the left-hand menu, then click on the "Manage Account" button. 5)On the Firefox Account page, click on the "Devices" tab. 6)On your Android device, open Firefox and tap on the menu button (the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner). 7)Tap on "Settings" and then tap on "Sync". 8)Make sure that Sync is turned on and that the correct account is selected. 9)On your PC, you should see your Android device listed under "Connected Devices". 10)Click on the "Sync Now" button to sync your bookmarks and passwords from your PC to your Android device.


Once the sync is complete, your bookmarks and passwords on your Android device will be replaced with the ones from your PC.

I hope this helps :)
