Very confused trying to operate sync. I have two laptops and would like to keep the bookmarks the same between them. Simply do not see how to function with sync. How does one "keep" the correct bookmarks on each computer? If I add a bookmark to computer A; exactly what are the steps to get the additional bookmark onto computer B? If I add a bookmark to computer B; how do I get it to be on computer A? If I use computer A for a long period of time and add several bookmarks how do I "update" computer B? etc etc etc. I just do not see the process. Any assistance most appreciated.

Chosen solution

To keep two separate folder structures of bookmarks on two devices attached to a Sync Account, uncheck the bookmarks option to sync in about:preferences#sync

It will merge the two no matter how its organized.
