Firefox creates backups of the bookmarks in the bookmarkbackups folder, so it should be easy to restore the bookmarks.
- Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Restore
The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once. You also see this count in the Restore menu drop-down list.
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
Hi nealevanparker, I think cor-el covered the question of getting your bookmarks back. At least one of your system should have a compressed backup file you can use.
To stop Sync:
If you go to the Firefox Accounts tab in Options, you can either completely disconnect your desktop Firefox from Sync, or limit the categories of data that Sync.
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
- Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the left column, click Firefox Account
Then on the right side, you can manage your Sync settings for this installation of Firefox.
