HI Soumen, Thank you for your question. I was hoping someone would ask. Currently the design of Firefox Sync is published here: Open pw protocol

The amount of cache space is limited from device to device. If you swipe down from the top of the navigation and tap on the sync icon you will see all the tabs and synced list.

If you have any other questions, I am happy to help.

Hi guigs2, Thanks a lot for your feedback, yes I’ve many questions.

1# “If you swipe down from the top of the navigation and tap on the sync icon you will see all the tabs and synced list.” Do you mean under setting? Under setting I see there have sync option to choose like bookmark, tabs, pass etc.

1# I was using FF28 on my PC and its old sync feature and it was working flawlessly and properly sync all. But after the 29update I found FF released a new sync method and I moved to that. But what I found it really not sync properly. I’ve over 5k bookmark in my PC and when sync with my phone (Note3) it didn’t sync all. I ran the sync multiple time and leave it long to do its purpose but it didn’t. I also tried adding, deleting some from my PC and then sync again, but nothing helps. Also 29 Sync doesn’t sync passwords with master password. Then for all (except Note 3) I went back to FF 28 and started using old sync method. Also the old sync account shows how many data uploaded and a option for user to clear them, which I use frequently for safety purpose but that’s missing in the new sync. Also the

2# is there any way to import bookmark manually on android? Because when I do sync all desktop bookmarks shows under ‘desktop’ directory. But it would be helpful if all are stored in root bookmark place.

3# another PC FF related question is: is there any way for the bookmark sidebar shortcut icon in FF 29. I see its missing in 29 and the new icon only shows a dropdown menu. But as I’ve long list of bookmarks, so sidebar is best for me. I know the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+B) but I’m habituated with the icon.

Thanks in advance!

1. See the image below swipe down from the url bar then tap on the sync icon.
2. Yes, it does not sync with master password and yes that many bookmarks will take a while to sync. There was a case earlier where the account sync took a while to complete because of the large amount of data in the profile.
3. No currently there is not way to manage the files or placement of bookmarks from the Android device. There are add ons that may do this that you can check out int the Android add on search.
4. Yes the same shortcuts in previous versions will show the Bookmark bar on the left :-)

Hope this helps.

Thanks guigs2 for all your answers and all are very helpful. I see the screenshot and I see that sync icon but didn’t try or got it’s purpose so far, I will try that soon. Generally I let it sync for the 1st time by itself and after done when I see not properly sync all, I go to account and do manual sync multiple time but sometime that doesn’t help.

What I mean is not it takes longer time to sync huge amount of data. I’ve over 5k bookmarks and others and when I do it 1st time it sync like 99.99% bookmarks. But when I do some modification or add/remove bookmarks then I run sync over pc and after done on mobile device multiple time, but it doesn’t work flawlessly, if this leave few behind it cannot get that anymore. Its hard to explain, just not working 100% correct.
