Sync on Firefox mobile puts my Bookmarks Menu into Unsorted Bookmarks

On my laptop, I have Firefox 3.6.1.2 with Firefox Sync add-on 1.5. I have most of my bookmarks organized into multiple folders inside in the Bookmarks Menu folder.
On my Droid, I have Firefox Mobile 4.0b2 and I have set up sync.
Once I sync Firefox Mobile, and use it to look at bookmarks from my desktop, there's a problem:
The bookmarks from my desktop that should show up organized into subfolders under the Bookmarks Menu, instead are showing up in one long randomly sorted list under Unsorted Bookmarks (which on my laptop is empty).
The only bookmarks section that isn't getting mixed up this way is Bookmarks Toolbar, it is correctly showing the same bookmarks from Bookmarks Toolbar on my laptop.

This problem existed with the previous public beta as well, and it never resolved itself over a period of several weeks where I ran Fennec once maybe every few days.
With this new beta, I can't answer the question - it was so slow that I uninstalled it, sorry! (noticeably slower than the previous beta - I have a Moto Droid I with Froyo).
However, if it helps, I have attached a screen shot of my bookmarks bar on my PC so you can get an idea of how many bookmarks I've got and how they're organized (most of my bookmarks folders under Bookmarks Menu contain at least several dozen bookmarks each, and a few also contain subfolders).
I also should note that in Firefox sync prefs on my PC, I am only syncing bookmarks; I'm not syncing anything else (like tabs, history, etc.).

  • Firefox mobile crashes on bookmark import

    I'm just trying to import my bookmarks from the stock browser via the Firefox mobile app .I've cleared out Data, I tried reinstalling and tried using the beta version.
    Any solutions or alternative ways to do this manually? Verizon Galaxy Note 2 on 4.1 .2. Thanks

    There must be some set of characters that Firefox is having trouble importing from. The only work around I can thing of for this would be to sync the Galaxy Note browser data to Chrome desktop (if possible). Then import into Firefox desktop that data. Finally use Firefox sync to get the data over.
    Do you have any bookmarks that have non-latin characters?

  • Firefox sync on F4B10 stopped working after first sync of Firefox mobile B3

    Could someone tell me how to do this step by step
    Thankyou

    Which Spry menu are you using?

  • Firefox Mobile changes bookmark order after sync

    I've got all my bookmarks arranged on Firefox desktop into various folders and there are also various bookmarks in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder that are sorted by date added. I've connected to Firefox sync and synced the desktop. I've then installed firefox mobile on android and connected that to Firefox Sync. This then syncs all my desktop bookmarks on to Firefox mobile. However when I go back into Firefox desktop the order of my unsorted bookmarks has been changed and ordered by name.
    I assumed that either Firefox Desktop would be the master and everyother device synced with this would follow the same order or that the first device linked (the desktop) would be the master. However Firefox mobile seems to sync the bookmarks, change the order and then sync this new order with the desktop.

    yesterday I did what you suggest,
    This morning I turned on my computer and open firefox, you bookmarks toolbar back chaotic.. you can see my snapshot
    so chaos occurs bookmarks toolbar every firefox is opened and synchronize.
    although today I fix bookmarks toolbar, tomorrow morning when I open firefox, it would be chaos again
    ''cor-el [[#answer-720436|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    You would have to restore the bookmarks from an older JSON back if the recent backup that Firefox uses to rebuild the bookmarks when you delete the places.sqlite file is already corrupted.
    The name of a JSON bookmarks backup file includes a total item count (includes folders and separators) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once.
    *bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
    So you can check if there is a sudden unexplained change in the item count.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Can see and use all old bookmarks folders and bookmarks, but cannot see any of the old folders when I attempt to bookmark a new page- only see Bookmarks toolbar & Menu and unsorted bookmarks

    Had several bookmarks folders under old Firefox. After upgrade to 4.0 all of these still work via bookmarks menu. Problem is, when I attempt to bookmark a new page and place it in one of my existing bookmarks folders with 4.0, the only folders that Firefox can see are the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks. How do I get Firefox to see the old folders so that I can continue to put bokmarked pages in them??

    In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

  • How do I 'Open all in tabs' from a bookmark folder, in Firefox mobile? I am using an android tablet.

    One of the best things about firefox on my desktop is the way I could group bookmarks into folders per subject or task,then open them all in tabs. On my Asus tablet I can see my desktop bookmark folders, but I don't see how to open them all in tabs. Also, is there a way to put a bookmark button somewhere, instead of going through the homepage?

    It is not a default feature of Firefox mobile. Sounds possible via an extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/ Though anything more than 3-5 would cause some performance problems while the pages are downloaded. If a large number were selected there is a good chance that all the memory on the tablet would be exhausted and Firefox would be killed by Android.

  • How do I change the order of Bookmarks in Firefox Mobile?

    For Firefox Mobile (v4), I can't figure out how to change the order of bookmarks.
    What am I missing?

    Sorry, there's no simple way to sort bookmarks in Firefox for mobile.
    If you use Firefox Sync to synchronize bookmarks with Firefox on your computer, then you can move bookmarks around in the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder on your computer to re-order them on your phone.

  • Just switched from IE, imported my favorites okay, but Firefox won't let me put new bookmarks in the folders. When I select "choose", it shoes no folders. Why?

    Firefox doesn't seem to recognize the favorites folders I imported from IE. I can't save a bookmark in any folder I already had when I changed to FF. When I select "choose", my only choices are Bookmark Toolbar, Bookmark Menu or Unsorted Bookmarks. I badly need to put bookmarks in my imported folders.

    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks] <br />
    '''All''' bookmarks are in one of those 3 main folders. The bookmarks and folders that were imported from IE should be in the '''Bookmarks Menu''' folder.
    There should be two different "down arrow" buttons to the right of the folder name ''(the appearance differs by operating system - IMO it's the best on WinXP)'', the left one allows you to select one of those 3 main folders, and the one on the right allows you to see the folders in the main folder that is selected. <br />''A silly interface, IMO, but it's been that way through 3 major version releases, so it has been consistent in it's lack intuitiveness.''
    You might want to look at the Add Bookmark Here ² extension - that type of "Add Bookmark" window should have been the default in Firefox 3.o and newer versions: <br />

  • Sync not working in Firefox Mobile 22

    I am running a private Sync server from
    http://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync.html
    with Firefox on almost any OS. Upgrading to version 22, Firefox Mobile on Android stopped syncing:
    - The special folder "Mobile Bookmarks" disappeared from the library
    - Even after deleting all local data on Android and reconfiguring the sync adapter it will not offer me any desktop bookmarks.
    Any developer knowledge on this (power user speculations won't do)?

    Hi viru,
    Please sign out of Firefox Sync on that device and log in one more time. I understand that you have successfully logged in, but nothing is happening.
    If this is not helping, I would recommend creating a new profile and copying the that in the current profile into a new one. [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • Sync between Firefox English on WinXP and Firefox French on MacOS 10.5 (english or french) does not bring bookmarks (bug brings tabs from other computer)

    Sync between Firefox (latest) English on WinXP and Firefox French (same version) on MacOSX 10.5 PPC (iBook G4) (english or french) does not bring bookmarks (bug brings tabs from other computer). Account WORKS, yet sync does not sync anything BUT the "alien tabs". Using Sync to migrate plataforms in this scenario is impossible. Any hints here ? Thank you.

    After experimenting, each sync is scheduled on the each individual device and after all of them have completed, the about:sync-tabs page shows the updated tabs. It is not realtime, it seems to take a few minutes. This being the case, a fresh login did speed this up. If I logged out of the firefox account on my mobile device and logged in, I immediately saw the tabs on the about:sync-tabs page.
    There is no limit to how many can be synced. There is a number of tabs that make it to the queue for the next scheduled sync. The tabs are done by a time interval as far as I noticed in the experiment.
    The history is indeed merged with the history from other devices. It is merged the synced to each of the devices over an interval of time.

  • Sync appears to be reorganizing my bookmarks to alpha order every time I reboot Firefox. Can I do anything to get sync to maintain the order I have arranged them in? Xmars never changed my specified order

    Firefox 3.6.11
    Sync appears to be reorganizing my bookmarks to alphabetical order.
    Every time I reorganize them the way I want. They return to alpha order the next time I bring Firefox up.
    Very annoying.
    Sync should leave the organization of my bookmarks alone. Only ensure that all bookmarks are present on all machines but do not reorganize for me.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • How can i get my sync key from mobile firefox (android)?

    I logged in to the sync in my desktop browser and then set up syncing with firefox for android but i recently reset my firefox config and computer isn't connected. Because i lost my sync key i can't connect it again. If key can be retrieved on connected pc why it shouldn't be possible on my mobile too? How can i do this? I even searched my mobile about:config.

    You should be able to add a device by opening the Firefox Mobile preferences and then scrolling to the Sync section. Press the connect button and you will get a 12 character pass phrase. On your desktop open the options window and then the Sync tab then use the add a device button to enter the 12 character code from your mobile.
    If you are not near your computer you will need the Sync Key that was given to you when setting up Sync.
