private bookmarks with Firefox Sync (NOT about private browsing)

Naturally enough, I have bookmarks on my home system that I don't want to sync to my work computer.

I can't find anything about Firefox Sync that tells me how to keep SOME bookmarks local to a single machine, i.e. prevent them from being Sync'ed.

How can I mark some bookmarks as "local" or "private" when using Firefox Sync?

If this capability was [ridiculously] omitted, how can I submit a change request?

hello Cornan, there is no such concept as "private bookamarks" in firefox - you can only exempt bookmarks as a whole from being synced (under firefox > options > sync) if you want to keep different sets of bookmarks on different pcs.

please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.
