I am attempting to sync from desktop to android 10 phone. I go Setting - add device. Follow instructions to open firefox on phone, open Firefox QR scanner. I show qr code on pc. scan w phone. Prompts with a link. hit allow. Nice big error message stating that I must use firefox app. Well, as noted, that is what I am doing. I need to import my hundreds of bookmarks.

Where is the sync button in settings on android? Why try to reinvent the wheel? Ugh.

Anyone know how I can do this? I'm no pro with android in general.

EDIT: My bookmark folders show on android but are all empty. That is the problem I started with.

Hi

If you open https://accounts.firefox.com/signin and sign into your account, do you see your copy of Firefox for Android listed as a connected service?
