Bookmarks and History are getting deleted and restored back to the browser default; It's happened twice now. Also sync was working, but now it doesn't show any of my desktop browsers history, bookmarks, etc. I've verified that I'm signed in too.

I do see that the browser has been updated today and connected with sync on my desktop and my phone. So far things are working fine.

I understand that the data on the ipad device is looking like it is a new start of Firefox. I am happy to help as well.

Please check these settings in the gear menu: Are you navigating in private tabs? [ ] Close Private Tabs when leaving private browsing

When you downloaded the new version, did you go through the app store to download the update or reinstall?

Hi Guigs,

I made sure private browsing wasn't turned on at all.

The new version was updated automatically from the app store.
