Hi. I'd like to be very clear about what I want to do.

I want to delete *** ALL BOOKMARKS *** and I don't want to delete them one-at-a-time but, rather, ALL AT ONCE!

No, NOT clearing data on exit. No, NOT clearing top sites.

I want to COMPLETELY DELETE ALL BOOKMARKS, hopefully NOT one-at-a-time.

I am using Android 5.0.2 on a tablet.

Thanks in advance for a great Firefox!

This is not possible. You can uninstall and reinstall Firefox which will clear the bookmarks but it will also clear the history, passwords, extensions, top sites and any other customizations done to Firefox

Hi. Thanks very much for your reply. With all due respect, I just love it when someone says something is not possible. A few minutes ago I just figured out how to delete ALL bookmarks.

First, on your PC, open Firefox and backup your bookmarks.

Once the bookmarks are backed up, delete all your bookmarks (on the PC). Then sync to your Android device. Sha-ZAMMM! All bookmarks are removed from your Android device. Then, on your PC, restore your bookmarks.

Persistence.

And thanks again for your response.
