Hi

Imagine I have a desktop Firefox and an Android Firefox. I create an account and sync desktop Firefox with Android Firefox. Now I disconnect sync in my Desktop.

For one week sync is disconnected and I changed my bookmarks a lot. After a week I want to sync them again. But if I sync desktop I will lose my bookmarks! actually they return to last week. 

What can I do? I must create another account? Is this way reasonable?

I use Firefox 32.0.3 and there is no pair device and other thing that were in previous versions.

Thanks

HI i.akbari, Thank you for using the new Firefox Sync. The new feature of this sync has a few changes.

Yes, there is only one status for syncing between devices. All of the content is merged and each setting will only sync what you select. It is also not meant to be a back up service, just to sync data between devices.

Please may a local back up of your profile. Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
