Hi, sorry to hear that. You should be able to recover them from the other device you are Sync'ed with. Since you do not mention another device : It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.

If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of these article.

If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.

Always backup :

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

The problem is I synced one computer, then added three more. Sync added it all together and gave me multiple bookmarks for the same site. It I fix one computer, will it transfer to all the others, or will it just add to the others and continue to give me all the bookmarks over and over again?

You can try to restore the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

  • Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Restore

The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once.

  • bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
