I read on the forum some solutions but no one is really solving my problem.

Since 1 week, when I add some bookmarks on my PC they don't appear on my Android and I don't know why because it was working some time ago.

I checked the solutions by the only one I found is than I need to have less than 5000 bookmars but I don't have more than 1000 bookmars so I really don't see where is the problem. I tried to reinstall firefox on my android and it still don't works.

Thanks you in advance for your help.

Hi

I understand that Firefox Sync did not connect to your mobile device on this occasion, but hopefully I should be able to help you force a Sync event to take place.

Assuming you have connected the same Sync account on both your mobile and desktop copies of Firefox:

In Firefox on your mobile device:

  1. Go into the Settings menu and select Firefox Sync
  2. Tap on Synchronise now

This will “force” a synchronisation of the data that is on the local device storage.
