As long as I am on one computer the bookmarks are fine. As soon as I open the browser on another computer the bookmarks all change and not to the ones that I last had. I have to re-down load from a json file I have. Then if both computers stay up the bookmarks change again. How do I fix this? I only want one set of bookmarks.

Are you using Sync to sync bookmarks?

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync while performing maintenance/repair efforts to files in the Firefox profile folder.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

If you want to keep using Sync then best is to connect one device at the time and give it enough time for the initial sync to finish. Then proceed with the next device.
