I recently re-set up my Sync account pairing my desktop and my Android device, a few hiccups but so far so good.

I was saving my bookmarks on my mobile device and saw that they were syncing to my desktop in the folder Mobile Bookmarks

...Now they've all disappeared from my desktop. Not only that, I literally watched all but two of the dozens of bookmarks on my mobile device disappear.

What is going on Mozilla. I've been using Firefox for 8 years and really, really don't want to go to Chrome, but this is getting too much.

Please advise.

hello toba1, firefox creates a handful of automatic backups of your bookmarks. can you get back your mobile bookmarks if you restore one such backup?: Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
