- I chose to Sync all (Bookmarks, History,Password etc)

- After a while when I go to Option->Sync I can see only bookmark checked (ticked)

Does it mean FF would sync only bookmarks ?

How would I know what it is syncing !!!

Chosen solution

I did delete my sync account and started the thing from the begining. Now its working. At least it does show all are checked !

Previously when setting up Sync. I chose only the bookmarks And then afterwards from browser settings I chose others too

But the browser restart it does not show others checked

It is a bug. fix it !

And thanx for the support.

Let us assume that you need to sync two devices, Alice and Bob. You asked on Bob to sync everything. Now it may happen, that Alice is set up differently, i.e. it was decided to sync only bookmarks from there. Bob has no partner to sync his passwords, history etc with.

So check the setup on any other devices that involved. Come back in any case and let us know!

There is no any other devices. Only my PC !!!

"There is no any other devices. Only my PC !!! "

... so you are just syncing the setup of this PC with the server, but no other devices (at least not yet), correct?

What will be synced, is entirely in your hands. Check other boxes, like passwords, history etc (Tools > Options > Sync). Then these contents will be synchronized with the server as well - and with other devices, if you decide to do so later (and if you decide on any of the devices involved, to sync just passwords for instance, then only passwords will be kept synced).
