I don't have Sync set up with Android, so I haven't seen this myself, but in screenshots I've seen a "Mobile Bookmarks" category appear in the Library window below the other bookmarks. It might also appear in the Bookmarks Sidebar... Could you check for that?

  • Library window, either:
    • Ctrl+Shift+b
    • "Show All Bookmarks" on the Bookmarks menu or bookmarks drop-down from the toolbar
  • Bookmarks Sidebar, either:
    • Ctrl+b
    • "View Bookmarks Sidebar" on the bookmarks drop-down from the toolbar

I guess the question would be if that exists, how to better integrate it into the menu/toolbar.

wow I never thought to check there because I always have the sidebar turned off. Of course that's where they went lol. Thanks jscher2000

When I sync Android and desktop Firefox; I get the desktop bookmarks sent to my phone, but I can't get bookmarks on phone sent to the desktop. It is nowhere in bookmarks. In the "Mobile Bookmarks" there is only the 3 basic Firefox tabs (about/support/add-ons). This synced when I installed Firefox and synced. But after this initial sync, no further syncs happened. I have disconnected and logged out and clicked on sync, but no syncing is happening FROM Android.

Open tabs also don't sync.

Hi LorraineJoubert, thank you for starting a new question. Since this one was already marked solved, it makes sense to address it in a new thread:
