How can I 'mass' delete bookmarks in android/tablet Firefox?
I can't 'mass' delete bookmarks in android/tablet Firefox. I see no option, seems you have to do it one by one which is madness when you have myriad bookmarks. Is there a workaround/way?

Ok I finally got Sync to work so my bookmarks are fine now (they synced from my PC successfully). In another thread I had mentioned I was having problems with Sync, kept getting an error "“Verification link damaged. The link you clicked was missing characters, and may have been broken by your email client. Copy the address carefully, and try again.”. So the link I was getting from Sync was faulty. I tried it again late yesterday and the link that was sent finally worked properly. So, I don't have to delete the bookmarks now that they're correct.
I still wish there was an easier way to delete more than one bookmark though, like being able to highlight the ones you want and then just pressing delete. Apparently they're looking into adding such a function to android Firefox in the future so will have to wait for an update.

Hi
I do know of a way to delete everything in one go, but I guess this is not what you are after.
Bookmark management is currently not a feature of Firefox for Android, but may be considered in a future release.

What is the way to delete everything (and what do you mean by 'everything') in one go? I'm talking about deleting all my BOOKMARKS on the tablet (uses android).
By everything he means all the data. Your chosen settings, browsing history, bookmarks, reading list, etc. Basically returning to a clean install without reinstalling. And to do that you go to Settings - Apps - Firefox - Storage. And hit [CLEAR DATA]
If you're not using Sync yet, you can always set it up just for the purpose of purging your bookmarks. But you'll need to sync it to a computer. And remember to sync it to a fresh Firefox profile. (run: "firefox.exe -p" if you want to make a new one)
