I want to have the same appearance of my Firefox on all of my devices. I did sync for that purpose, ticked bookmarks. But eventually I dont have my bookmarks on my new desktop computer that I had created aerlier on my laptop. I enter the same Firefox account on both devices. Please give me a suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm not familiar with Linux, but you seem to be using Firefox 43.0, the latest - for Windows at least, is 47.0.1 so updating may help. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/

Alternatively, plug a USB flash drive into one machine, then in Firefox, open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML. Or > Backup, but note that Backup will overwrite any existing bookmarks. Now save to the flash drive.

You can now plug the flash drive into your other machine, then in Firefox, open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML. Or > Restore (from Backup), and navigate to the flash drive.

More general info: Import data from another browser.
