Firefox for Android Bookmarks

[GabiB]

Most recent Android update 3/11/2025 has completely scrambled all bookmarks on mobile. They are correct on the desktop version, but syncing between that and my phone suddenly isn't fixing this issue. Additionally, where once pulling down to refresh the sync while in bookmarks worked, it doesn't do that anymore.

I have done 4 clean reinstalls of the app and logged back in each time. This made mobile bookmarks look correct for literally a day, but it keeps reverting to the screwed up version eventually.

Can someone on the developer side please look into why this most recent update has suddenly broken the mobile app? I've seen others having the same issues since this rollout.

Issues present as of 3/17/2025.

Please see Chris-S's response link below, I think this is definitely the best workaround until Mozilla itself responds better to this issue.

Thank you Chris-S, I did exactly this and found that the toggle for Compose Bookmarks had been off already, probably due to the constant aforementioned reinstalls of the app. I will definitely keep this in mind for future reference!

That workaround is SO excellent! What a breath of fresh air to have my bookmarks in order again! I've lost track of how long my bookmarks have been appearing in a completely random order. It seems like more than a year, but this workaround not only corrected the problem, it introduced me to secret settings too. Bonus!

 All very well to have a workaround, but this should never have happened in the first place.
