I've just started using firefox SYNC ...

I am using 1 windows laptop, and 1 android phone (galaxy s4).

Bookmarks I add on the laptop sync properly and are visible on my phone.

HOWEVER.... bookmarks I add on my phone do not appear to sync and are not visible on my laptop.

It should be noted that on the phone... my bookmarks that I added on the laptop all appear in a "Desktop Bookmarks" folder, while the ones I add on the phone appear outside that folder.

Thanks for any help you can offer, I really want this to be a usable solution for me.

Follow up .... it does appear to be syncing to some degree, but not as I expected, and with a glitch...

If you just click on the toolbar's bookmark menu on a pc, there is no evidence of the bookmarks added on the mobile device being synced...

HOWEVER .. if you then click on 'show all bookmarks' at the bottom of the bookmark menu, in the new window that opens, there is a new folder titled 'mobile bookmarks' that contains the one I added on my phone.

Is that considered normal? I thought it would be a true sync... integrated folders.
