I have installed Firefox and synced my accounts to my android device. Is there any way to access my existing desktop Bookmarks Toolbar from the android tablet? My old tablet was Windows based and worked just like my desktop computer. The Firefox for Android app seems lacking. Do i have to re-bookmark all my sites? Not cool!

Hi

Firefox for Android has a different interface that Firefox for desktop, and does not have any toolbars. You may need to copy those bookmarks into a more "normal" folder fr them to be picked up by Firefox Sync.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

These bookmarks should be present in the bookmarks view under desktop bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar folder. See this support documnet on how to switch to the bookmarks view.
